The sum of two numbers is 76. the difference is 24. find the two numbers doing the elimination method

50 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation! That makes it much simpler and has helped me a lot.

x+x-24=76

Combine like terms

2x+24=76

Add 24 on both sides

2x=52

Divide both sides by 2

x=26

72-26=50

To check that their difference is correct, subtract 26 from 50

50-26=24

Hope this helps!
