Question

Sum of two no. is 95. if one exceeds the other by 15 , find the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x and x+15

according to the question, x+(x+15)=95

2x+15=95

2x =80

x =40

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

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

To Find :-

• What is the numbers.

Solution :-

Let, the first number be x

And, the second number will be x + 15

According to the question,

↦ $\sf x + x + 15 =\: 95$

↦ $\sf 2x + 15 =\: 95$

↦ $\sf 2x =\: 95 - 15$

↦ $\sf 2x =\: 80$

↦ $\sf x =\: \dfrac{\cancel{80}}{\cancel{2}}$

➠ $\sf\bold{\green{x =\: 40}}$

Hence, the required numbers are :

✪ First number :

↦ $\sf x$

➠ $\sf\bold{\red{40}}$

And,

✪ Second number :

↦ $\sf x + 15$

↦ $\sf 40 + 15$

➠ $\sf\bold{\red{55}}$

$\therefore$ The numbers are 40 and 55.
