Question

the sum of two number is 25.One of the number exeeds the other by 9. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x and x+9 are the numbers

x+x+9=25

2x+9=25

2x=25-9

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

x+9=8+9=17

8 and 17 are the numbers

 

if you are not in algebra, here is another solution:

25/2=12.5

12+13=25

11+14=25

10+15=25

9+16=25

8+17=25  answer

you can do this because 25 is a small number and trial and error, although not the best strategy, is a mathematical strategy that you can use

Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers are 8 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

So the other number = x+9

Sum of numbers = 25

So x +(x+9) = 25

2x + 9 = 25

2x = 25 - 9

2x = 16

x = 16 ÷ 2

x = 8

Other number = x + 9

= 8 + 9

= 17
