Question

Sum of two numbers is 85 if one exceeds the other by 15. Find the linear equation formed X + 15 =85,x-15=85,2x-15=85,2x+15=85

Answer 1

SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

Sum of two numbers is 85 if one exceeds the other by 15.

Find the linear equation formed

x + 15 = 85

x - 15 = 85

2x - 15 = 85

2x + 15 = 85

EVALUATION

Let one number is x

Now it is given that one exceeds the other by 15.

So second number = x + 15

Sum of the numbers

= x + x + 15

= 2x + 15

Now it is given that Sum of two numbers is 85

So by the given condition

2x + 15 = 85

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is 2x + 15 = 85
