The difference of two numbers is 491. The smaller of the numbers is 578. What is the other number?

1069

Step-by-step explanation:

x-578=491

x=491+578=1069

1049

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greater no. be x.

Since, the difference of the two numbers has a positive value we must subtract the smaller value from the greater value. So, the eqn becomes

x-578=491

or, x=491+578

therefore,

x=1049
