Question

the sum of two numbers is 97 and one of them is greater than the other by 51 find the number

Answer 1

Let one number be x.
Then other will be x+51
x+(x+51)= 97
2x+51=97
2x=97-51
2x=46
x=23
then the number is x+51=74
74 and 23
I hope it will help you friend

Answer 2

It is given that,

The sum of 2 numbers is 97 and one of the number is greater than the other number by 51.

If 'x' is the given number,'x+51' will be the value of the other number and their sum will be (x)+(x+51).We know that their sum is 97. So we will get the values by solving the equation x+x+51 = 97.

(x)+(x+51)=97.
2x+51=97.
2x=97-51.
2x=46.
x=46/2.

x=23.
x+51=74.

Therefore, the 2 numbers are 23 and 74.
