Question

the sum of two numbers is 36 and one number sxceeds another by 8.Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 8 = 36

2x + 8 = 36

2x = 36 - 8

2x = 28

x = 28/2 = 14

so, one number is14 and other no exceeds by 8 = 14 + 8 = 22

Answer 2

Answer:

Let 1st no be x

And second no be y

Then, x + y = 36. --------(1)

And, x = y + 8

Putting this value in (1) eq. , We get --

y + 8 + y = 36

2y =36 - 8

2y = 28

y = 28/2 = 14

Then, x = y + 8

x = 14 + 8 = 22

Then

No = x = 22. And y = 14
