Answer 2

----------------------------------------

Here is the solution:

----------------------------------------

Define x:

Let one of the number be x

The other number is 85 - x

One number exceed the other by 25:

x - (85 - x) = 25

x - 85 + x = 25

2x - 85 = 25

2x = 110

x = 55

Find the 2 numbers:

one number = x = 55

The other number = 85 - x = 85 - 55 = 30

Answer: The two numbers are 30 and 55.
