Answer 1

mark brainliest for correct and step wise Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

let nos. be a and b

a+b=95 (1)

a exceed b by 15

means a=b+15

so now we have

a=b+15(2)

putting (2) in (1)

b+15+b = 95

2b=95-15

2b= 80

b= 40

a=b+15

a=40+15

a=55

verification

a+b = 95

55+40 = 95

95=95

LHS = RHS

a=b+15

55=40+15

55=55

LHS=RHS

SO ANSWER IS CORRECT

Answer 2

Answer:

First number=40

Second number=55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st number be x

2nd number will be x+15

Equation will be

x+x+15=95

2x+15=95

2x=95-15

2x=80

x=80/2

x=40

First number=40

x+15

40+15

55

Second number=55
