Question

Sum of two numbers is 71. If one exceeds the other by 25, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let one number be = x

other number = x + 25

sum = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

according to question,

x + x + 25 = 71

2x = 71 - 25

2x = 46

x = 46 /2

x = 23

 therefore , first number = 23

other number                  = 23 + 25 = 48

Answer 2

=48and25 is the answer

x=48

x-25=23
