Question

sum of two numbers is 85. One of the numbers is 7 less than the other. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

39 and 46 are the two numbers whose sum is 85 and one number exceeds the other by 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Then, the other other is exceed by 7.

So, other number is (x + 7).

According to the question

Sum of two numbers = 85 (given)

x + (x + 7) = 85

2x + 7 = 85

2x = 85 - 7

2x = 78

x = 78/2

x = 39

First number = x = 39

Other number = (x + 7)

Other number = (39 + 7)

Other number = 46

So, 39 and 46 are the two numbers whose sum is 85 and one number exceeds the other by 7.
