Respuesta :

the two numbers are 6.457 and -1.421

Answer:

3.407 and 1.629

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that sum of two number is 5.036

Also the hint of first number is *.4*7

and  hint of second number is 1.*2*

where * is unknown value.

Thus, 7 + * = 6 ⇒ * = 9

* + 2 = 3 ⇒ * = 1 but here we have carry of last numbers so * = 0

4 + * = 0 ⇒ * = 6

* + 1 = 5 ⇒ * = 4

Thus, two numbers are: 3.407 and 1.629
