Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{Answer:}$

Given:

• We have been given that the sum of two numbers is 85.
• The greater number is 13 more than the smaller number.

To Find:

• We need to find the number.

Solution:

Let the smaller number be x.

=> Greater number = x + 13

According to the question, we have

x + (x + 13) = 85

=> 2x + 13 = 85

=> 2x = 85 - 13

=> 2x = 72

=> x = 72/2

=> x = 36

Therefore, smaller number = 36 and greater number = (x + 13) = (36 + 13) = 49.

Hence, numbers are : 36 and 49.
