Question

A number is 5 more than another. Their sum is 11. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number is x

then another is (5+x)

according to question

x + (5+x) = 11

2x + 5 = 11

2x = 11-5

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3

therefore,the number is 3 and

another number is= (5+x) = (5+3) = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

x=8

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5+y.................1

x+y=11..............2

substituting 1 in 2

5+y+y=11

2y=11-5

2y=6

y=6/2

y=3

so,x=5+y

x=5+3

 =8

therefore x=8

                y=3
