Answer» Let the first number = x Then the second number = x + 7 (exceeds first number by 7) Sum of two numbers = 35 According to problem, x + x + 7 = 35 ⇒ 2x + 7 = 35 ⇒ 2x = 35 – 7 ⇒ 2x = 28 ⇒ x = 28/2 ⇒ x = 14 x + 7 = 14 + 7 = 21 ∴ The two numbers are 14 and 21 Check: Numbers: 14, 21 Sum = 14 + 21 = 35 Hence verified |
