Here it is given in the question that the sum of two numbers is 125 and their difference is 25. Now, the question has asked us to find out the numbers. So, to find the numbers follow the steps shown below.
ANSWER:-
⪼ 1st number = 75
⪼ 2nd number = 50
GIVEN:-
⟶ Sum of 2 numbers = 125
⟶ Their difference = 25
TO FIND:-
⇢ 1st number = ?
⇢ 2nd number = ?
HOW TO DO:-
❐ Let the 1st number be x.
❐ Let the second number be (x - 25).
❐ Equation = x + (x - 25).
❐ Solve further.
SOLVING BY APPLYING THE FORMULA:-
⟶ Sum of 2 numbers = 125
⟶ Their difference = 25
❐ Let the 1st number be x.
❐ Let the second number be (x - 25).
❐ Equation = x + (x - 25) = 125
❐ Solve further.
- Finding the value of x:-
☞ x + (x - 25) = 125
Opening the bracket:- x + x - 25
So,
☞ x + x - 25 = 125
Adding the variables:- x + x = 2x
So,
☞ 2x - 25 = 125
Transposing 25 to R.H.S:- 2x = 125 + 25
So,
☞ 2x = 125 + 25
Adding the terms:- 125 + 25 = 150
So,
☞ 2x = 150
Transposing 2 to R.H.S:- 150 / 2
So,
x = 150 / 2
☞ Dividing the terms:- 150 / 2 = 75
So,
x = 75
Thus, the value of x is 75.
- Finding the numbers:-
☞ 1st number = x
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀x = 75
Thus, the 1st number is 75.
☞ 2nd number = x - 25
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀x - 25 = 75 - 25
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀75 - 25 = 50
Thus, the 2nd number is 50.
VERIFICATION:-
1. Sum
☞ 1st no. + 2nd no. = Total
☞ 75 + 50
☞ 75 + 50 = 125
☞ 125
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S
2. Difference
☞ 1st no. - 2nd no. = Difference
☞ 75 - 50
☞ 75 - 50 = 25
☞ 25
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, proved.
