Question

Sum of of two numbers is 95 If 1 number exceeds The Other by 15. Find the number

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\rm{\purple{Answer}}}}}}$

The numbers are 40, 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So, other number will be x + 15

Given

The sum of x and x + 15 = 95

• x + x + 15 = 95

• 2x + 15 = 95

• 2x = 95 - 15

• 2x = 80

• x = 80/2

• x = 40

So, the numbers are

• x = 40

• x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55

Checking

To check our answer we must add the numbers and check whether our sum is 95.

40 + 55 = 95

So, our answer is correct

Answer 2

Given :

• Sum of two numbers is 95 .
• One number exceeds the other by 15 .

To Find :

• The Two numbers .

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Let\:First\:number\:be=x}$

As Given that other number exceeds one by 15 . So ,

$\longmapsto\tt{Second\:Number=x+15}$

A.T.Q :

$\longmapsto\tt{x+x+15=95}$

$\longmapsto\tt{2x+15=95}$

$\longmapsto\tt{2x=95-15}$

$\longmapsto\tt{2x=80}$

$\longmapsto\tt{x=\cancel\dfrac{80}{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{x=40}$

Value of x is 40 ..

Therefore :

$\longmapsto\tt{First\:Number=x}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{40}$

$\longmapsto\tt{Second\:Number=40+15}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{55}$

So , The Two numbers are 40 and 55 ..
