Answer 1

Question:-

The sum of two numbers is 42.

One of the number exceeds the other by 11.

Answer:-

Let one of the number be x

Henceforth, The other number will be (x+11)

$x + (x + 11) = 42$

$2x + 11 = 42$

$2x = 42 - 11$

$2x = 31$

$x = \frac{31}{2}$

$x = 15.5$

Hence, one number is 15.5

and the other is,

$x + 11 = 15.5 + 11 = 26.5$

Hence, the other number is 26.5

u'r done!!
