Answer: 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be a and b.

a-b=100

The smaller number is decreased by 10.

b will become b-10.

The bigger number is increased by 20.

a will become a+20

The new difference is:

a + 20 - (b - 10)

= a + 20 - b + 10

= a - b + 30

But a-b=100

a - b + 30

100 + 30

130
