Question

Arjun had 55 stamps more than Arvind's collection of stamps. Together they have 175 stamps. How many stamps dose Arjun have​

Answer 1

let, the number of stamps Arvind have=x
number of stamps Arjun have=55+x

55+x+x=175
55+2x=175
2x=175-55
2x=120
x=120/2
x=60

so arvind have 60 stamps

number of stamp arjun have=55+60=115

so arjun have 115 stamps

Answer 2

Answer: 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We are going to form an Equation.

Equation is a mathematical statement which states that LHS = RHS.

We here make use of constants, variables, terms and so on.

Let Total Number of Stamps with Arvind be x.

Therefore, Arjun's number of stamps would be x + 55

Equation: x + 55 + x = 175

Step 2: Solving the equation by the method of Transposing.

x + x + 55 = 175

2x + 55 = 175

2x = 175 - 55

2x = 120

x = 120/2

x = 60

Step 3: Finding the required value by using the value of x.

Remember? We had taken Arvind's number of stamps as x  and Arjun's as x + 55

So, Substituting the value of x to find Arjun's age we get:

=> x + 55

=> 60 + 55 = 115

So, Final Answer is 115.
