Question

4 th question exercise 2.2 maths 8 th class

Answer 1

Answer:

Sum of two numbers be 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Solution:

Let one number be x

Other number = x + 15

As per the condition of the question, we get

x + (x + 15) = 95

⇒ x + x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x = 95 – 15 [transposing 15 from (+) to (-)]

⇒ 2x = 80

⇒ x = [latex]\frac { 80 }{ 2 }[/latex] [transposing 2 from (×) to (÷)]

⇒ x = 40

Other number = 95 – 40 = 55

Thus, the required numbers are 40 and 55.
