Question

4. Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one number be x

the equation will be like:- x+(x+15)

2x+15=95

2x=95-15

2x=80

x=80÷2

x=40

the first number is 40.So the second number will be

40+15=55

Answer 2

$\huge† \huge \bold{\: \pmb {\red{ Answer }} }$

Sum of two number = 95

Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 15.

According to the question, x + x + 15 = 95

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2x+15=95 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \: 2x+15-15=95-15 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf [Subtracting \: 15 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \: 2x=80 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{80}{2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf [Dividing \: both \: sides \: by \: 2] \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \red{x=40}$

Hence, the first number = 40

And another number = 40 + 15 = 55.
