Question

the sum of two numbers is 25.one of the number exceeds the other by 9 . find the number​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathtt\purple{Answer}$

Let the first no be x

$x + x + 9 = 25$

$2x = 25 - 9$

$2x = 16$

$x = \frac{16}{2}$

$x = 8$

First no is 8.

Second no is 17.

Answer 2

Let us assume that the two numbers are x and y

so, x+y=25 so,y=25-x(1)

Given that y=9+x ...

so,25-x = 9+x

2x=25-9

2x=16

x=16/2

Therefore x=8 , y = (x+y)=25 = 8+y = 25 = y = 25-8 = 17
