1.	1.Sum of two numbers is 48. If one exceeds the other by 4, find the numbers.
Answer» let the two numbers be x and y, y<x.given, x+y=48.......(1) and, x=y+4.........(2) Now, Putting value of x from (2) in (1)We get, y+4+y=48 or 2y+4=48 or 2y=48-4 or 2y=44 or y=44/2 or y=22.ans.. Continuing....... Putting value of y in (2)We get, x=y+4 x=22+4 x=26

1.Sum of two numbers is 48. If one exceeds the other by 4, find the numbers.

Answer»

let the two numbers be x and y, y<x.given, x+y=48.......(1) and, x=y+4.........(2)

Now, Putting value of x from (2) in (1)We get, y+4+y=48 or 2y+4=48 or 2y=48-4 or 2y=44 or y=44/2 or y=22.ans..

Continuing....... Putting value of y in (2)We get, x=y+4 x=22+4 x=26
