Question

The sum of two numbers is 85. If the one numbers exceeds the order by 25, find the two numbers

Answer 1

Hey! Here's your answer!

Let the numbers be x and y.

x + y = 85

x = y + 25

By substituting value of x in the equation,

y + 25 + y = 85

2y = 60

y = 30

x = 55

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

let one no. be x
then other no. =x+25
a/q
x+x+25=85
2x=85-25
2x=60
x=30

x+35=30+35
=65
