Question

If a and b are two positive number such that a+b=150 where a is100 greater than b then find the value of a and b

Answer 1

Answer:

a= 125, b = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a+b= 150

and a = b + 100 (as a is 100 greater than b)

then substituting the value of a,

( b + 100 ) + b = 150

=> 2b+ 100 = 150

=> 2b = 150-100

=> 2b = 50

=> b = 50/2

=> b = 25

thus, value of a = 100 + 25 = 125
