Problema Solution

The sum of two numbers is 100. One number is at least 16 more than the other number. What are the two numbers?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let smaller number be x

Let the larger number be x+16

(x)+(x+16)=100

2x+16=100

2x=84

x=42

42+16=58

Hence, one number is 42 and another one is 58.
