Question

the sum of two numbers is 85. If one number exceeds the other by 25,,find the two numbers

Answer 1

HEYA!!!

let one number be x


another number be x+ 25

sum of the numbers = 85

ATP,

x + x + 25 = 85

2x = 85-25

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30...


the two numbers are 30 and 55...

Answer 2

let one number be x
other exceeds the first by 25
the 2nd number is x+25

given that their sum is 85.
therefore,

x+x+25=85
2x+25=85
2x=85-25
2x=60
$x = \frac{60}{2}$
x=30

therefore,
1st number =x=. 30
2nd number=x+25=30+25= 55.

the two numbers are 30 and 55.
