The Sum of Two Numbers is 40 and Their Difference is 4
x + y = 40
The difference between x and y is 4. In other words, x minus y equals 4 and can be written as equation B:x - y = 4
Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B: x - y = 4
x = 4 + y
x + y = 40
4 + y + y = 40
4 + 2y = 40
2y = 36
y = 18
x + y = 40
x + 18 = 40
X = 22
Sum: 22 + 18 = 40
Difference: 22 - 18 = 4
