Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
The statement
difference of two numbers is 166 is written as
x - y = 166.......... Equation 1
The sum of the same two numbers is 234 is written as
x + y = 234 ............. Equation 2
Solve the equations simultaneously
Add both equations 1 and 2
That's
x + x + y - y = 166 + 234
2x = 400
Divide both sides by 2
Substitute the value into the first equation
That's
100 + y = 234
y = 100 - 234
