Question

The Sum of two numbers is 29 and one number exceed another by 5.Then the other number is _​

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of 2 numbers =29

Let one number be x

And the other number be x+5 (as mentioned in the question)

So,

x+ (x+5)= 29

x+x+5=29

2x+5= 29

2x= 29-5

2x= 24

x= 12

So, one number is 12 and the other number = (x+5)= 12+5= 17

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

one number is x

another is 5

one exceed other 'x-5'

sum of both number are 29

x-5=29

x=29+5

x=34

verification-34-5=29
