Answer:

x = 800 and y = 330

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two numbers be x and y.

Sum of two numbers is 1130.

Their difference is 470.

So,

x+y=1130 ...(1)

x-y = 470 ...(2)

Add equation (1) and (2).

x+y+x-y = 1130+470

2x = 1600

x = 800

Put the value of x in equation (1)

800+y=1130

y = 1130-800

y = 330

So, the smallest number is 330 and the largest number is 800.
