The sum of two numbers is 310. The difference between the two numbers is 24. a. Find the smaller number, b. Find the greater number.

143 and 167 hope this helps

a. the smaller no. is 143

b. the greater no. is 167

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no.s be x and y

The sum is

=> x+y= 310 1

and the difference is

=> x-y = 24 2

By using elimination method we get

2x= 334

x= 167

Now putting the value of x in equation 1

so, we get

167+y= 310

y= 310 -167

y= 143

2,160 π
