1.	Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.
Answer» Sum of two number = 95 Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 15 . According to the question, x+x+15=95 => 2x + 15 = 95 => 2x + 15 - 15 = 95 - 15 [Subtracting 15 from both sides] => 2x=80 => 2x/2=80/2 [Dividing both sides by 2] => x = 40 Hence, the first number = 40 And another number = 40 + 15=55

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

Answer»

Sum of two number = 95
Let the first number be x, then another number be x + 15 .
According to the question, x+x+15=95
=> 2x + 15 = 95

=> 2x + 15 - 15 = 95 - 15 [Subtracting 15 from both sides]
=> 2x=80

=> 2x/2=80/2 [Dividing both sides by 2]
=> x = 40
Hence, the first number = 40
And another number = 40 + 15=55
