Find two numbers based on sum and difference

πŸ”’βœ¨ What Is the Sum?

  • The sum is the result when you add two numbers.
  • Example: 8 + 5 = 13 ➝ 13 is the sum.
  • βž•πŸŸ°

βž–βœ¨ What Is the Difference?

  • The difference is the result when you subtract two numbers.
  • Example: 8 βˆ’ 5 = 3 ➝ 3 is the difference.
  • βž–πŸŸ°

πŸ§ πŸ’‘ To Find the Two Numbers:

If you know the sum and the difference of two numbers, use this trick:

πŸŽ€ Step 1: Add the Sum and Difference

πŸ‘‰ (Sum + Difference) Γ· 2 = Bigger Number
πŸ’‘ Because the bigger number includes the extra amount shown in the difference!

πŸŽ€ Step 2: Subtract the Difference from the Sum

πŸ‘‰ (Sum βˆ’ Difference) Γ· 2 = Smaller Number


βœ”οΈ Example Time! 🧩

🎲 Sum = 20

🎲 Difference = 4

  • Bigger number = (20 + 4) Γ· 2 = 12
  • Smaller number = (20 βˆ’ 4) Γ· 2 = 8

✨ So the two numbers are 12 and 8! πŸŽ‰


πŸ“πŸ’¬ Remember This Rule!

⭐ When you know sum and difference,
πŸ‘‰ The bigger number is always closer to the sum + difference.
πŸ‘‰ The smaller number is always closer to the sum βˆ’ difference.


🎨🧸 Why This Works?

  • The difference tells how far apart the two numbers are.
  • The sum tells how much they add up to.
  • Combining both helps us separate the bigger and smaller values! 🌈
