Question

find two numbers in such a way that one of them exceeds the other by 9 and their sum is 51​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the smaller number be x

The larger number will be x+9.

Given that their sum is 81.

Therefore, x+x+9=81

⇒2x+9=81

⇒2x=81−9

⇒2x=72

⇒x=36

Smaller number is 36.

Now, the larger number will be x+9=36+9=45.

Answer 2

Answer:

30 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

51-9=42

42/2=21

21+9=30
