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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

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

To find :-

Find the numbers?

Solution:-

Let the other number be X

Then the one of the numbers = Other number+18

=> X+18

The sum of the two numbers

=> X+X+18

=> 2X+18

According to the given problem

Sum of two numbers is 136.

=> 2X+18 = 136

=> 2X = 136-18

=> 2X = 118

=> X = 118/2

=> X = 59

Other number = 59

One of the numbers

= X+18

= 59+18

= 77

therefore, the numbers = 59 and 77

Answer:-

The required two numbers are 77 and 59

Check:-

the numbers = 59 and 77

Their difference = 77-59 = 18

Their sum = 77+59 = 136
