Question

sum of two numbers is 95 . if one exceeds the other by 15 , find the bigger number​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey mate!! The explanation is as follows-

Let 1st no. be = x

Then, the second no. would be = x+15

Therefore,

x+x+15=95

2x+15=95

2x=95-15

2x=80

x=40

Therefore,

The first no. is x=40

The second no. is x+15=40+15=55

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
