29 and 6

Explanation:

The sum can be defined as two numbers added together.

I would start by listing all the possible outcomes, although this can be time-consuming if a large number.

1) 34 and 1
2) 33 and 2
3) 32 and 3
4) 31 and 4
5) 30 and 5
6) 29 and 6
7) 28 and 7
8) 27 and 8
9) 26 and 9
10) 25 and 10

Now take away the smaller number from the bigger number:

1)33
2)31
3)29
4)27
5)25
6)23

Since 29-6=23 and 29+6=35, these can be used

6 and 29.

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 35.

One number is 23 more than the other number.

So, if we subtract this additional 23 from the sum 35, we are

left with the sum of two equal numbers.

Dividing this difference in two equal parts, we get

one number and the other one will be 23 more.

Thus, the desired numbers are, 1/2(35-23)=1/2*12=6 &

6+23=29.

Enjoy Maths.!

The two numbers are 6 and 29

Explanation:

We can define the two numbers using one variable because we know the relationship between the numbers,

Let the smaller number be x

The larger number differs by 23,. It will be x+23

The sum of the numbers is 35

x+x+23= 35

2x = 35-23

2x = 12

x =6" "larr this is the smaller number,

The larger number is 6+23= 29

Check: 6+29 =35" " and 29-23 =6
