Question

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

Answer 1

Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers. Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 15. And another number = 40 + 15 = 55.

Answer 2

Q4) Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Solution:

Sum of two number = 95

Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 15.

According to the question, x + x + 15 = 95

\Rightarrow2x+15=95⇒2x+15=95

\Rightarrow2x+15-15=95-15⇒2x+15−15=95−15

[Subtracting 15 from both sides]

\Rightarrow2x=80⇒2x=80

\Rightarrow\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{80}{2}⇒

2

2x

=

2

80

[Dividing both sides by 2]

\Rightarrow\ x=40⇒ x=40

Hence, the first number = 40

And another number = 40 + 15 = 55.
