​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that their sum is 97. So we will get the values by solving the equation x+x+51 = 97. (x)+(x+51)=97. 2x+51=97.

Answer 2

• The numbers are: 55 and 46.

Step by step explanation:

Let the both number be x.

So, one of the number is greater than other, that means = x+5

According to question,

$(x + 5) + x = 97 \\ = > x + 5 + x = 97 \\ = > 2x = 97 - 5 \\ = > 2x = 92 \\ = > x = \frac{92}{2} \\ = > x = 46$

So,

Value of x+5 = 46+5 = 55

Value of x = 46
