Question

the sum of two number os 75.if one exceeds the other by 5 ,find out the numbers​

Answer 1

1st number = x

2nd number =x-5

Sum of two numbers = 75

$x + x - 5 = 75 \\ 2x = 75 + 5 \\ 2x = 80 \\ x = \frac{80}{2} \\ \green{ \boxed{ \pink{x = 40}}}$

1st number = x

= 40

2nd number = x-5

= 40-5

= 35

Answer 2

Answer:

sum of two numbers = 75

one exceeds other by 15

then,x,x+15

so equation = x+x+15=75

2x+15=75

2x=75-15

2x=60

x=60/2

x=30 & x+15= 30+15= 45
