Question

the sum of two number is 100 and the first number is 2 more than second number find the numbers

Answer 1

friend,

let the second number be x
first number be x+2
x+x+2=100
2x+2=100
2x=100-2
2x=98
x=98/2
x=49

hence,
second no is(x) =49
first no is(x+2)=49+2=51

have a nice day

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\sf 49 \:and \: 51 }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that -

Sum of two numbers is 100 and the first number is 2 more than second number.

Let the second number be x. Then, first number = (x + 2).

According to the question;

x + (x + 2) = 100

⇒ x + x + 2 = 100

⇒ 2x + 2 = 100

⇒ 2x = 100 - 2

⇒ 2x = 98

⇒ x = $\dfrac{98}{2}$

⇒ x = 49

Therefore, the numbers are:

• First number = 49
• Second number = 49 + 2 = 51

Hence, the numbers are 49 and 51.
