Explanation / Answer

Let the two numbers be x and y,Let the bigger no. be x

x+y = 98 ----(1)

x - y = 42 ----(2)

Add the two equations:

2x = 140

x = 70

y =70- 42 = 28

The two nos. would be 70 , 28

2) Let the two pieces be x and y:

x+y = 72

x - y = 18

add the two equations :

2x = 90

x = 45

y = 45 -18 =27

the two numbers are ( x, y) = ( 45, 27)
