Answer:

37+23

Step-by-step explanation:

I searched it up. someone else asked the exact same question. I hope it's correct though.

Answer:

The larger number is 37 and the smaller number is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this problem in terms of x and y:

x+y=60

x-y=14

x will be the larger number while y will be the smaller number.

When we add both those equations together, we get 2x=74 since y-y=0. Now we do 74÷2 which equals 37 so x=37. Finally we know that x=37 so our y  must be the remaining part since x+y=60. We simply subtract 37 from 60 and get our smaller number, 23.

I hope this helps :)
