Answer 2

$\bold\red{\underline{Given:}}$

The sum of two number=125

$\bold\green{\underline{Let:}}$

The first number be 2X-10

The second number be X

$\bold\pink{\underline{A.T.Q}}$

⟹Sum of two number=125

⟹1st number+Second number=125

⟹2X-10+X=125

⟹3X=125+10

⟹3X=135

⟹X=135/3

⟹X=45

Hence,

2nd number=45

1st number=2*45-10=90-10=80

$\bold\purple{\boxed{1st\: number=80}}$

$\bold\orange{\boxed{2nd\: number=45}}$
