Question

The sum of two number is 55 if one number exceed other by 5 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN :

• Sum of two numbers = 55
• One exceeds by 5

TO FIND :

The numbers

SOLUTION :

Let the number be x and x + 5

$\large \rm{ \bigg(x + 5 \bigg) + x = 55}$

$\large \rm{x + 5 + x = 55}$

$\large \rm{2x + 5 = 55}$

$\large \rm{2x = 55 - 5}$

$\large \rm{2x = 50}$

$\large \rm{x = \dfrac{50}{2}}$

$\large \rm \: x = 25$

Numbers are

x = 25

x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30
