let we take 5x and 8x

let we take 5x and 8xso here it is given the larger no. exceeds the smaller by 15....

let we take 5x and 8xso here it is given the larger no. exceeds the smaller by 15....so the equation,

let we take 5x and 8xso here it is given the larger no. exceeds the smaller by 15....so the equation,8x - 5x=15

3x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 3

x = 5

So, here we have to find the smaller no.

therefore, 5x = 5 × 5 = 25.....
