Question

The sum of two numbers is 158. One number exceeds the other number by 8. Which are the two numbers

Answer 1

the 2 numbers are 75 and 83.

Answer 2

Answer: 74,82

Step-by-step explanation: let the smaller number be x

So, the other number will be x+8

x + (x+8) = 156

2x +8 = 156

2x = 156-8

2x = 148

x = 148/2 = 74

Therefore, the other number is 74+8 = 82

So, the two numbers are 74 and 82
