Question

sum of two numbers is 95 .if one exceeds the other by 3 find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and larger be y

According to question:

y+x= 95--(i)

and

y=x+3--(ii)

from i,

y= 95-x

Replacing value of x in ii

95-x= x+3

or 95-2x=3

or -2x= -92

or x= 46

Replacing ivalue of x in (i)

y+46=95

or y= 95-46

=49

y=49, x= 46

Answer 2

Answer:

46 and 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be= x.

Then, the other number becomes x + 3

According to the question,

x + x + 3 = 95

⇒ 2x + 3 = 95

⇒ 2x = 95 – 3

⇒ 2x = 92

⇒ x = 92/2

⇒ x = 46

First number = x = 46

And, other number = x + 3 = 46 + 3 = 49
