​

Answer 1

Answer :

The numbers are 50 & 35.

Explanation :

Question says that,

Sum of two numbers is 85.

Where, one of the number is 15 less than the other.

If we assume one number as $x$

Then, another number would be $(x - 15)$

According to the question :

$\implies x + (x - 15) = 85$

$\implies x + x - 15 = 85$

$\implies 2x - 15 = 85$

$\implies 2x = 85 + 15$

$\implies 2x = 100$

$\implies x = \dfrac{100}{2}$

$\implies x = 50$

$\therefore \sf \: One \: number \: is \: 50$

Hence, the other would be :

• $(x - 15) = 50 - 15 = 35$

∴ Required numbers are : 50 & 35.
