Let numbers be a and b

  • a+b=15--(1)
  • a-b=9---(2)

Adding both

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto 2a=24[/tex]

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto a=\dfrac{24}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto a=12[/tex]

  • Put value in eq(2)

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto 12-b=9[/tex]

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto b=12-9[/tex]

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto b=3[/tex]
