Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

x +x+15=95

2x=95-15

2x=80

x=40

x+15=40+15=55

hence the no. are 40&55

Answer 2

The two numbers are 40 and 55.

Given:

Let two numbers be x and y

 x+y=95 is equation 1

 x+15=y is equation 2

To find:

  Two numbers x and y

Solution:

Step 1: Substitute equation 2 in 1

x+y=95

x+(x+15)=95

2x+15=95

2x=80

x=40

Step 2: Substitute x value in equation 1

x+y=95

40+y=95

y=55

Hence,the two numbers are 40 and 55.
