To Find:-

•What is the number.

Solution:-

Let consider one number be x and other number be x +15.

According to the question,

$\: \: \sf \: x + x + 15 = 95 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: 2x + 15 = 95 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: 2x = 95 - 15 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: 2x = 80 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: x = 40$

Hence,the value of x is 40.

Therefore,

• One number = x = 40
• Other number = x+15= 40+15=55
