Question

sum of two numbers is 95 if one exceeds The Other by 3, find the numbers

Answer 1

x+(x+3)=95
2x+3=95
2x=95-3
2x=92
x=92/2
x=46
x+3=46+3=49
verification
x+(x+3)=95
46+(46+3)=95
46+49=95
95=95
lhs =rhs
proved

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
