Question

sum of two number is 95 if one exceeds The Other by 15 find the number

Answer 1

Define x:

Let one number be x

The other number is 95 - x

Solve x:

One exceeds the other by 15:

x - (95 - x ) = 15

x - 95 + x = 15

2x - 95 = 15

2x = 110

x = 110 ÷ 2

x = 55

Find the numbers:

one number = x = 55

other number = 95 - x = 95 - 55 = 40

Answer: The numbers are 40 and 55

Answer 2

Answer:

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
