Let the integers be x and (70-x)
x - (70-x) = 24
2x - 70 = 24 (collect terms)
x - 35 = 12 (divide both sides by 2)
x = 47 (add 35 to both sides)
(70-x) = 70 - 47 = 23
The two numbers are 23 and 47.
x - (70-x) = 24
2x - 70 = 24 (collect terms)
x - 35 = 12 (divide both sides by 2)
x = 47 (add 35 to both sides)
(70-x) = 70 - 47 = 23
The two numbers are 23 and 47.
