Question

sum of two numbers is 155 if one exceed the other then what's the number left
​

Answer 1

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

\Rightarrow x=\frac{80}{2}

⇒ x = 40

First number = x = 40

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