Question

the sum of two numbers is 25 . one of the numbers exceeds the other by 10 . Represent the given information in linear equation .​

Answer 1

The two numbers are y and y+10

according to the question,

y + y+10 = 25

2y= 25-10

2y = 15

y = 15/2

y = 7.5  

Linear equation:  y + y+10 = 25

And the numbers are 7.5 and 17.5
