Answer:
x=44 and y=21
Step-by-step explanation:
The large one is x
The small one is y
According to given conditions,
x+y=65[Sum of two number is 65]—Equation(1)
x-23=y [Smaller number is less than 23 than larger]——Equation (2)
From equation (2) we can write,
x-y=23——-Equation(3)
Now adding equation (1) and (3) we get,
x+y+x-y=65+23
=>2x=88
=>2x/2=88/2 [Both sides are divided by 2]
=>x=44
Now putting the values in equation (2) we get,
44–23=y
=>y=21
Large, x=44 and Small, y=21
