Question

the sum of 2 numbers is 27 if one of the number is greater by 5 find the numbers. please need step by step explanation and fast

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x and x+5

so the equation formed is :

x+x+5=27

2x+5=27

2x=27-5

2x=22

X= 11

11+(11+5)

11+16

=27

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's assume the smaller number to be x, then the other number will be (x+5)

Given

x+(x+5)=27

Or 2x+5=27

=> 2x= 22

Or x= 11

Therefore the other number is x+5= 11
