Question

sum of two numbers is 29 and one number exceeds another by 5 find the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

17, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller no. be x.

Therefore, larger no. =x+5

According to question,

x+x+5=29

=>2x+5=29

=>2x=24

=>x=12

Smaller no. = x= 12

Larger no. = x+5 = 17

Answer 2

Answer:

let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 29                            --> (a)

x+5 = y or x-y = -5               --> (b)

a+b,

x+y+x-y = 29+5

2x = 34

x = 17

then, y = 29-17  = 12

therefore, the numbers are : 17 and 12
