Question

Sum of two number is 95 . If one exceeds the other by15, find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the nos are x and y

x + y = 95 eq1

x = y + 15 eq2

Now put value of x in eq1

y + 15 + y = 95

2y = 95 - 15

y = 80/2 = 40

Put y in eq2

x = 40 + 15 = 55

Hence no. are 40 and 55


Thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

40 and 45

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 = 80/2

⇒ x = 40

First number = x = 40

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