Question

sum of two number is 95. if one exceeds the other by 15,find the number

​

Answer 1

Hey buddy,

Here's your answer ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Given the numbers give the sum $95$.

Let the first number be [tex]x [/tex] and the second number be $x+15$ because it's given that one number exceeds other by $15$.

Sum of the number is given by $x+x+15=95$

[tex]x+x+15=95 [/tex]

$2x+15=95$

[tex]2x=95-15 [/tex]

[tex]2x=80 [/tex]

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

$x=40$

Substituting value of $x$ we get $x+15$

$40+15=55$

Therefore, the numbers are $40$ and $55$.

Hope it helps ☺️

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

One exceeds the other by 15 find the number. :]

So, Second number will be (x + 15)

The sum of two numbers = 95 .....[Given]

According to question now,

➳ x + (x + 15) = 95

➳ x + x + 15 = 95

➳ 2x + 15 = 95

➳ 2x = 95 - 15

➳ 2x = 80

➳ x = 80/2

➳ x = 40

Therefore,

• First number = x = 40

• Second number = x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
