Sum of two number is 120 .if one
numben axceded then other by 16. then
the number are

58 62
52 68
5o 70
55 65​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y = 120

but, y=x+16                     (given) (1)

so ,  x+(x+16) = 120                 ( from 1 )

      2x+16 =120

       x+8 = 60           (whole equation divided by 2 )

        x = 52

therefore y = 68

so , option b is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

52 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

One no. = x

Other no. = x + 16

therefore, x + x + 16 = 120

2x + 16 = 120

2x = 120-16

2x = 104

x = 104/2

x = 52

As we know

First no. = x = 52

Other no. = x + 16 = 52 + 16 = 68
