Question

Sum of two numbers is 180 . If one exceeds the other by 42 ,find the numbers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

69 + 111

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two numbers = 180

1st number = x

2nd number = x + 42 (second number exceeds the other by 42)

Therefire = 2x + 42 = 180

2x = 180 - 42

2x = 138

x = 138 ÷ 2

x = 69

Therefore

1st nunber = x = 69

2nd number = x + 42 =

69 + 42 = 111

Sum = 69 + 111

= 180

Hope you got your answer

Answer 2

ANSWER:

$111 \: \: and \: \: 69$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Let one of the number be: x

If one number exceeds other by 42 then,

the other number = x - 42

Sum of two numbers = 180

$x + (x - 42) = 180 \\ 2x - 42 = 180 \\ 2x = 180 + 42 \\ 2x = 222 \\ x = \frac{222}{2 } \\ x = 111$

Other Number,

$x - 42 \\ = 111 - 42 \\ = 69$

Hence, two numbers are 111, 69
