Question

The sum of two natural numbers is 50.the greater number is 5 more than twice the smaller number. find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 35 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let two numbers are A and B

A+B= 50

A= 50-B

A= 5+2B

50-B= 5+2B

2B+B= 50-5

3B= 45

B= 45/3

B= 15

A= 50-B

A= 50-15= 35

Answer 2

Answer:

let the smaller no. be 'x'

then the greater no. be = 2x+5

Given - sum of two natural numbers = 50

x+2x+5= 50

3x + 5 = 50

3x = 50-5

x = 45/3

Therefore, x = 15

Hence, the smaller no. = x

=15

and the greater no. = 2x+5 = 2(15) +5 = 30+5 = 35
