Question

Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Let one number be x
Let another number be x+15

A.T.Q
x+x+15=95
x+x=95-15
2x=80
x=80/2
x=40

x=40( 1st number)
x+15=40+15=55( 2nd number)

CHECK-:

40+55=95

Hope it helped you..................

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the first number be x.

One exceeds the other by 15 find the number. :]

So, Second number will be (x + 15)

The sum of two numbers = 95 .....[Given]

According to question now,

➳ x + (x + 15) = 95

➳ x + x + 15 = 95

➳ 2x + 15 = 95

➳ 2x = 95 - 15

➳ 2x = 80

➳ x = 80/2

➳ x = 40

Therefore,

First number = x = 40

Second number = x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
