Question

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

Answer 1

let one number be x
then 2 number is =x-15
the sum is 95
x+x-15=95
2x=95+15
2x=110
x=55
x-15=55-15
x-15=40

x=55 and x-15= 40

Answer 2

Let the 1st number be x.
So,2nd number =(x+15)
A/q
x+(x+15)=95
2x +15=95
2x=95-15
x=80/2
x=40
1st number=40
2nd number=55
