The difference between two numbers is 275. the smaller number is 236 what is the sum of both numbers

747

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y, then

x - y = 275 (the difference of the 2 numbers) and

x - 236 = 275 (the smaller number y = 236)

Add 236 to both sides

x = 511

Thus x = 511 and y = 236, thus

x + y = 511 + 236 = 747
