Question

the sum of 2 number is 236. One exceeds the other by 121. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Let the two numbers be x and y where x>y

ACC to que

x + y = 236

x - y = 121

x = 236-y

x - y = 121

236-y-y = 121

-2y = 121-236

2y = 115

y = 115/2 = 57.5

x + y = 236

x + 57.5 = 236

x = 236-57.5 = 178.5

So the two numbers are 178.5 and 57.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Greater Number = X = 57. 5 + 121 = 178
