hiii!!!

here's ur answer...

given that the sum of two numbers is 80 and the greater no. exceeds twice the smaller no. by 11.

let the smaller no.be x

therefoe the greater no. will be 2x + 11.

hence, x + 2x + 11 = 80

==> 3x + 11 = 80

==> 3x = 80 - 11

==> 3x = 69

==> x = 69/3

==> x = 23

therefore, the smaller no. is = x

= 23

greater no. = 2x + 11

= ( 2 × 23 ) + 11

= 46 + 11

= 57

VERIFICATION:-

= 23 + 57

= 80

hence verified

hope this helps u..!

let the smaller  number be y
let the greater number be x
given sum of the two numbers=80
=>x+y=80    ......................................(1)
the greater number exceeds twice the smaller number by 11
=> x-2y=11 ....................................(2)
subtacting (2) from (1)
x+y-(x-2y)=80-11
x+y-x+2y=69
3y=69
y=23
=>x= 57
:. the numbers are 57 and 23
