Let those numbers be 'x' and 'y',

Given that,

$x+y = 95 --(1)$

And,

$x = y+15 --(2)$

Sub (2) in (1),

$y+15 + y = 95$

$2y + 15 = 95$

$2y = 80$

$y = 40$

So,

$x = y + 15$

$x= 40 + 15$

$x = 55$

Answer 2

Let the no be x
So the other no is (x+15)
(x+15)+x=95
2x+15=95
2x=80
x=40
The other no is 40+15=55
So the nos are 40 and 55
