Question

The sum of two number is $90$ and the greater number exceeds twice the smaller by $15$. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Let smaller number is $x$

Greater number $=2x+15$

According to the question

Greater number $+$ smaller number $=90$

$2x+15+x=90$

$3x=75$

$x=25$

And $2x+15=65$

Hence, numbers are $25$ and $65$
