Answer 1

Answer:

15,25

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+10)=40

x=15

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

Sum of the two numbers=40.

Let the two numbers are,x and y.

So,

x+y=40→1

And,

one number is 10 more than the other.

x=y+10→2

Now substitute x value in equation 1.

$2y + 10 = 40$

$2y = 30$

$y = \frac{30}{2} = 15$

So,The value of y is 15.

From equation 2.

$x = y + 10$

$x = 15 + 10 = 25$

So,The numbers are 25 and 15.
