Question

Sum of two number is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 95 and y = x + 15

x + x + 15 = 95

2x = 80

x = 40 and y = 55

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 55 ; y=40.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us take one number to be x.

And the other number y.

given

x+y=95

x=y+15

then,

x+y=95

substitute x=y+15,

y+15+y=95

2y+15=95

2y=95-15

2y=80

y=80/2

y=40

then x=y+15

x=40+15

x=55
