Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 85, if one number exceeds the other by 7 find the number

Ans let one no. be x and other no. be y. then one equations is x +y = 85 and another equations is x -y=7 .then by elimation method

x + y = 85...(1)

x - y =7...(2)

(-) (+)=(-)

2y=92

y=92/2

y=46

x+y=85

we got the value of y, then

x+46=85

x=85-46

x=31
