= 64

Answer : 64

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\colorbox{pink}{{\color{b}{Required answer}}}$

$\huge\underline\green{\textbf{Given :-}}$

$\green{\textbf{Sum of two numbers = 74}}$

$\green{\textbf{One of the numbers is 10 more than the other.}}$

$\huge\underline\red{\textbf{To find :-}}$

$\red{\textbf{The two numbers.}}$

$\huge\underline\green{\textbf{Solution :-}}$

$\green{\textbf{Let the one number of them be x.}}$

$\green{\textbf{A.T.Q.}}$

The sum of the two numbers x and x + 10 is 74.

This means that x + (x + 10) = 74.

⇒ 2x + 10 = 74

⇒ 2x = 74 - 10

or 2x = 64

$\green{\textbf{Dividing both sides by 2,}}$

x = 32

$\green{\textbf{This is the first number (x) = 32.}}$

$\green{\textbf{The other number is x + 10 = 32 + 10 = 42.}}$

$\huge\green{\textbf{Therefore, the desired numbers are 32 and 42.}}$
