Question

Sum of two numbers is 65. The greater
number is 15 more than the smaller one
Form an equation to find the smaller
number (take the smaller number as p).​

Answer 1

Let the smaller number be " p "

Greater number be " p + 15 "

$\tt\implies \: p + 15 + p = 65$

$\tt\implies \: 2p + 15 = 65$

$\tt\implies \: 2p = 65 - 15$

$\tt\implies \: 2p = 50$

$\tt\implies \: p = 25$

Hence,

$\tt\: Smaller \: \: number = 25$

$\tt\: Greater \: \: number = 25 + 15 = 40$

Answer 2

Answer:

q+p=65

q=15+p

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller number be p and greater number be q
