  3. To help us we need to know what these key words mean:
    Difference- how many are in between (SUBTRACT)
    Sum- total when adding

  5. I think the two possible numbers can be eight and three because,
    8+3=11
    8-3=5
    This working out meets the rules in the question.

  6. I think the two digits might be 8 and 3 because the sum is 8+3=11 and the difference is 8-3=5.
