Question

the sum of two numbers is 40. One number is more than the other. What are the numbers

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other number be x

One of the number = 10 more than the other = (x + 10)

Given

Sum of two numbers = 40

⇒ One of the number + Other number = 40

⇒ (x + 10) + x = 40

⇒ x + 10 + x = 40

⇒ 2x + 10 = 40

⇒ 2x = 40 - 10

⇒ 2x = 30

⇒ x = 30/2

⇒ x = 15

Other number = x = 15

One of the number = (x + 10) = (15 + 10) = 25

Therefore the numbers are 25 and 15.
