Answer:
the other number = x + 9
Let the number be x.
Sum of two numbers = 25
x + x + 9 = 25
⇒ 2x + 9 = 25
⇒ 2x = 25 - 9
⇒ 2x = 16
⇒ x=16/2
⇒ x = 8
x + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17
the two numbers are 8 and 17.

Let, the number be 'x'
One of the number exceeds the other by 9 = x+9
Sum of the two numbers = 25
➡️(x)+(x+9)=25
➡️2x+9=25
➡️2x=25-9
➡️2x=16
➡️X=16/2
➡️X=8
One number x = 8
And the other number =(x+9)=>8+9=>17
