Question

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

Answer 1

let one no. be x .
then second no. will be x+15
ATQ
x+x+15=95
2x=95-15
2x=80
x=80/2
x=40


so one number is 40.
and another is 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
