There is a simple trick to solving these types of problems. Let the two numbers you're trying to find be "x" and "y".
- x + y = 40
- x - y = 14
Add the equations.
- 2x = 54
- 2x/2 = 54/2
- x = 27
Now replace "x" in the equation with the new found value.
- 27 + y = 40
- 27 - 27 + y = 40 - 27
- y = 13.
Now replace both "x" and "y" in the equation to check your answers.
- 27 + 13 = 40
- 27 - 13 = 14.
Therefore your two numbers are 27 and 13.
