Question

Q.4 Sum of two numbers is 136. If one exceeds the other by 18 find the numbers.

Answer 1

The two numbers will be 59 & 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the nos. be x.

The other no. will be x+18

Therefore,

x + x + 18 = 136

2x + 18 = 136

2x = 136 - 18

2x = 118

x = ¹¹⁸/2

x = 59 &

x + 18 = 59 + 18 = 77

Answer 2

Given:

• Sum of two numbers is 136. If one exceeds the other by 18.

To Find:

• The Numbers

Solution:

Let,

• One number be x
• Other Number be x + 18

According to Question,

→ x + x + 18 = 136

→ 2x + 18 = 136

→ 2x = 136 - 18

→ 2x = 118

→ x = 118/2

→ x = 59

Now,

• One number = 59
• Other number = 59 + 18 = 77

Verification:

→ x + x + 18 = 136

→ 56 + 59 + 18 = 136

→ 136 = 136

Hence, Verified.
