Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let bigger number be x, so smaller number =(95-x)

Now according to question,

(95-x)+15= x

110=2x

x=55

Hence the two numbers are x =55 and (95-x)= 95-55= 40.

You can cross check it, 55-40= 15 which satisfies the question.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The numbers are 55 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Sum of two numbers is 95.
• One exceeds the other by 15.

Let us assume:

• The other number be x.
• One number = (x + 15)

To Find:

• The numbers.

Finding the numbers:

• According to the question.

⟶ x + (x + 15) = 95

⟶ x + x + 15 = 95

⟶ 2x = 95 - 15

⟶ 2x = 80

⟶ x = 80/2

⟶ x = 40

Numbers are:

• One number = (x + 15) = (40 + 15) = 55
• Other number = x = 40
