Question

one number is 10 more than the other if their sum is 52 find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two no. be 'x' and 'y'

if x is 10 more than y,

x=y+10. -(1)

acc. to the que.

x+y=52. -(2)

substituting (1) in (2)

y+10+y=52

2y+10=52

2y=52-10

ie.,2y=42

y=42/2

y=21

we have x+y=52

ie.,x+21=52

x=52-21

= 31
