Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: 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

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

⇒ x = 40

First number = x = 40

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

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 $55.$
