Question

Sum of two numbers is 74. One of the number is 10 more than the other. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

x + x + 10 = 74
2x + 10 = 74.
2x = 74 - 10
2x = 64
x = 64/2
x = 32.
x + 10 = 32 + 10 = 42.                  Answer...................

Answer 2

let one no. be x
the other no. will be 10+x
x+10+x=74
2x+10=74
2x=74-10
2x=64
x=64÷2
x=32
therefore one no. is 32 and the other no. is 32+10=42
