Answer 2

Answer:

Let x and y be the two numbers

we have

x+y=85 (1)

one exceeds the other by 10

that is,

x = y+10 (2)

subtituting (1) in (2)

x+y =85

y+y+10 = 85

2y+10 = 85

2y = 85-10

2y = 75

y = 75÷2

y = 37.5

The numbers are 37.5 and 47.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

we can reach the answer by substitution method.
