Question

Q6. Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 40 and 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Sum of the numbers = 95

One number exceeds other by = 15

Let the numbers be -

• One as y
• Other as y + 15

⇒ y + (y + 15) = 95

⇒ 2y + 15 = 95

⇒ 2y = 95 - 15

⇒ 2y = 80

⇒ y = 80/2

⇒ y = 40

One number = 40

★ Other number -

⇒ y + 15

⇒ 40 + 15

⇒ 55

Other number = 55

The numbers =

• 40
• 55

Therefore, the numbers are 40 and 55.

Answer 2

Answer:

The 2 numbers are 40 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and

the other number exceeding by 15 be x+15

x+(x+15)=95

2x+15=95

2x=95-15

2x=80

x=40

and the other number exceeding by 15 will be x+15=55
