Question

Sum of two numbers is 29 and one number exceeds another by 5.Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

let no. be x and x+5

so, x+(x+5)=29

x+x+5=29

2x=29-5

2x=24

x=12

x+5=12+5=17

Answer 2

Answer:

12, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number 'x', then the bigger number will be 'x+5'

But it is given that sum of these two numbers is 29

⇒ x+x+5=29

⇒ 2x+5=29

∴ 2x=29−5

∴ 2x=24

x=12

Therefore smaller number x=12 and

Bigger number x+5=12+5=17
