The bigger number will be 267 and the smaller number will be 94.
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
Let the two number be x and y.
And assume that the number x is greater than the number y.
x > y
The sum of two numbers is 361. Then the equation will be
x + y = 361 ...1
The difference between the two numbers is 173. Then the equation will be
x - y = 173 ...2
Add equation 1 and 2, then the equation will be
x + x = 361 + 173
2x = 534
x = 534 / 2
x = 267
Substitute the value of x in equation 1, then the equation will be
267 + y = 361
y = 361 – 267
y = 94
The bigger number will be 267 and the smaller number will be 94.
