Question

The sum of two numbers is 53. If one exceeds the other by 5,find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

1st number =34

2nd number =29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y

⇒x+y =53

and

x=y+5

substituting the value of x in eq 2 in eq 1 we get:

   y+y+5=53

⇒2y=58

⇒y=29

using value of y we can find x

as,

x=y+5

=29+5

=34

hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Sum of two number = 53

If one is exceeds the other by 5.

Then,

1st number = X

2nd number = y

A T Q ,

x+y= 53..........(1)

x=y+5............(2)

Substituting the value of X in eq2 in eq 1

y+y+5=53

2y + 5= 53

y= 29

Then , I use the value of y

To find the value of X

x=y+5

x=29+5

x=34

I hope this answer

Help you
