Question

the sum of 2 no. is 99 and one of them is 17 more than the other. what are the 2 number​

Answer 1

${\underline{\boxed{\huge{\mathscr{\orange{Answer:-}}}}}}$

Let n = the smaller number.

Since the larger number is 17 more than the smaller one, then ...

Let n + 17 = the larger number.

Since "the sum of the two numbers is 99," then we can translate this statement mathematically into the following equation to be solved for n:

n + (n + 17) = 99

n + n + 17 = 99

Collecting like-terms on the left side of the equation, we get:

2n + 17 = 99

Now, subtracting 17 from both sides, we have:

2n + 17 - 17 =99 - 17

2n +0 = 82

2n=82

Now, divide both sides by 2, we get:

(2n)/2 =82/2

(2/2)n = 82/2

(1)n = 41

n = 41

Therefore, ...

n + 17 = 41 + 17

= 58

Answer 2

Answer:

let one no. be x

then another will be x+17

x+x+17=99

2x+17=99

2x=99-17

2x=82

x=82/2

x=41

another no. =41+17

=58
