Question

sum of 2 numbers is 95. if one exceeds other by 15. find the numbers​

Answer 1

Let the first number be x

second number be (x+15) // one exceed other by 15 //

sum of the number is given by x+(x+15) = 95

x+x+15=95

2x+15 = 95

2x =95-15

2x = 80

x=80/2

x =40

first number x=40, second number x+15 = 40+15= 55

The numbers are 40 and 55..

Answer 2

Answer:

40 and 45

Step-By-Step Explanation:

Let one of the numbers be= x.

Then, the other number becomes x + 15

According to the question,

x + x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x = 95 – 15

⇒ 2x = 80

⇒ x = 80/2

⇒ x = 40

First number = x = 40

And, other number = x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
