Question

The sum of two numbers is 61 . The larger number is 5 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

35.5 and 25.5

Explanation:

all you have to do is take 61÷2=30.5 and you add five to one of the halves, and subtract five form the other.

61÷2= 30.5

30.5+5= 35.5

30.5-5= 25.5
