Question

sum of two number is 95 if one access the other by 15 find the number

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Let one Number be x
It is given that the 1st number exceeds the second be 15
So,
second number = x + 15

Also,
their sum is 95

So,
the following balanced equation will be formed

x + x + 15 = 95

2x + 15 = 95

Transposing 15 to RHS,
we have,

2x = 95 - 15

2x = 80

$x = \frac{80}{2}$
x = 40

So,
one Number = 40
Other number = x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55

Thus,
the two numbers are 40 and 55

Answer 2

? + 15 = 95
? = 95 -15
? = 80
