Question

Sum of two numbres is 27 . if one numbers is 5 less than the others , find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer=11 and 16 Solution- Say the two nunbers are x and y X=y-5 ...equation 1 And x+y=27 ...equation 2 Putting equation 1 in 2 y-5+y=27 2y= 27+5 y= 32/2 y= 16 So x= 27-16=11

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be=x and y
So, x+y=27
According to the question,
x=y+5
After substituting the value,
(y+5)+y=27
2y+5=27
2y=27-5
2y= 22
y=22/2
y=11
x=11+5
x=16
Therefore the two numbers are 11 and 16.
