Question

If sum of two number is 105.one of exceed other by 15.what is the second number?

Answer 1

Answer:

the two numbers are 60 and 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second one be x-15 [since the second number exceeds the other by 15 ]

Then write the equation as :

x + ( x-15) = 105

x + x = 105 - 15

2x = 120

x= 60

Now if x = 60 then (x-15) = 60 - 15 = 45
