1.

Sum of two numbers is 95. 1f one exceeds the other by 3, find the numbers.

Answer»

Let one number be = x.

Then the other number x – 3

Sum of the numbers x + x – 3 = 2x – 3

By problem, 2x – 3 = 95

2x = 95 + 3 (transposing – 3)

2x = 98

x = 98/2 (transposing x 2)

x = 49

∴ if one number x 49 then the other number x – 3 = 49 – 3 = 46
