Let the number be x
let the other number be y
so, according to the question.
x = 15+y
and x + y = 95
so x = 95 - y
but x is also equal to 15 + y
so putting this value in the equation
15 + y = 95 - y
y + y = 95 - 15
2y = 80
y = 40
so to find the other number
x = 15 + y
x = 15 + 40 = 55
so, the number are
55 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:
sum of two numbers = 95
and one exceeds the other by 15
let one number = x
another number = x + 15
hence x + x + 15 = 95
= 2x + 15 = 95
2x = 95 - 15
2x = 80
x = 80/2 = 40
then the number are x = 40
and x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55
two numbers are 40 and 55
