Question

find two numbers such that one of them exceeds the other by 9 and their sum is 75​

Answer 1

Answer:

the two numbers are 42 and 33.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the unknown numbers be x and y

EQUATION 1:

x+9=y or

x-y=9

EQUATION 2:

x+y= 75

adding both, we get

x-y+x+y= 75+9

2x= 84

x= 84/2= 42

x-y= 9

42-y= 9

y= 42-9= 33

CONFIRMATION

33+42

=75

42-33= 9

Hence, verified

Hope this helps u :)
