Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first number be x and the second number be x+15.

According to the question,

x+x+15=95

2x=80

x=40

Hence, the first number is 40 and the second number is 55.

Answer 2

Answer:

40 and 45

Step-By-Step Explanation:

Let one of the numbers be= x.

Then, the other number becomes x + 15

According to the question,

x + x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x + 15 = 95

⇒ 2x = 95 – 15

⇒ 2x = 80

⇒ x = 80/2

⇒ x = 40

First number = x = 40

And, other number = x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
