Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

smaller number be x and bigger number be x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+5 =29

2x + 5 =29

2x = 29-5

2x = 24

x = 24÷2(transposing '2' to RHS)

x= 12

small number = x = 12

big number = x + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

numbers = 12 & 17

Answer 2

smaller number be x and bigger number be x+5

x+x+5 =29

2x + 5 =29

2x = 29-5

2x = 24

x = 24÷2(transposing 2 to Right Hand Side )

x= 12

small number = x = 12

big number = x + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

numbers = 12 & 17
