Question 4
Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Sum oftwonumber = 95
Let thefirst number bex,then another number bex+15.
According to the question, x+ x+15= 95
$\Rightarrow 2x+15=95\Rightarrow 2x+15-15=95-15$ [Subtracting 15 from both sides]
$\Rightarrow 2x=80$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{80}{2}$ [Dividing both sides by 2]
$\Rightarrow x=40$
Hence,the first number = 40
Andanother number = 40 + 15=55
