Question

the sum of two numbers is 35 if one number is 20 more than the other then find both number​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 no is 20

let other no. be x

total 35

Step-by-step explanation:

20+x =35

x = 35-20

x = 15

so the other no. is 15

Answer 2

Given

The sum of the two numbers is 35.

To find

If one is 20 higher than the other then find both number​s.

Solution

Let x be the smaller number and y be the larger number.

then, y = x+20   ..(1)

From given x + y =35 ...(2)

Substitute the y value in equation (2)

x + x +20 = 35

         2x = 35 -20

          2x = 15

            x = 7.5

Substitute the x value in equation (1)

y = 27.5

Hence the two numbers is 7.5 and 27.5.
