Question

Find two numbers such that one of them exceeds the other by 11 and
their sum is 77.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
