Question

Divide 105 into two parts , one of which diminished by 20 shall be equal to the other diminished by 15

Answer 1

it is given that one number is reduced by 20 and other is reduced by 15,
so one number = x-20
another number = x-15

(x-20) + (x-15) = 105
2x = 140

x = 70

we know that one number = x-20,
=70 - 20
=50

other number= x- 15
= 70 - 15
=55

so, the numbers are 55 and 50.


hope it helps!!!!
