Use the given conditions to write a system of equations. Solve the system and find the numbers. The sum of two numbers is 9. If one number is subtracted from the​ other, the result is 3. Find the numbers.

List the two numbers.

Respuesta :

let the two numbers be x and y 
then x+y=9
x-y=3
2x=12
x=6
6+y=9
y=3
so the numbers are 9 and 3
