Question

Sum of two number is 95. If one exceeds the other by the 15, Find the numbers. 40,55 30,45 60,65 50,55​

Answer 1

Answer:

55 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number and,

Let x + 15 be the other number.

$(x + 15) + x = 95$

$\implies \: x + x + 15 = 95$

$\implies \: 2x + 15 = 95$

$\implies \: 2x = 95 - 15$

$\implies \: 2x = 80$

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

$\implies \: 40$

∴ x = 40

Finding the numbers :

• x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
• x = 40

Hence, the numbers are 55 and 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

40 , 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be= x.

Then, the other number becomes x + 15

According to the question,

$x + x + 15 = 95\\\\= 2x +15 = 95\\\\= 2x = 95-15\\\\= 2x = 80\\\\= x = \frac{80}{2}\\\\= x = 40$

First number = $x$ = 40

And, other number = $x$ + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55

$\bold{first}$ $\bold{number}$ $\bold{=}$ $\boxed{40}$

$\bold{other}$ $\bold{number} =$ $\boxed{55}$
