Question

Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 25,

find the numbers.

Pls answer

Answer 1

60 and 35

Explanation:

Let:

First number = x

Second number = y [ y > x ]

According to question:

x + y = 95

= > y = 95 - x .... ( i )

y = x + 25 ...... ( ii )

From ( i ) and ( ii ) we get:

95 - x = x + 25

= > 2x = 70

= > x = 35

y = 95 - x [ x = 35 ]

= > y = 60

Therefore numbers are 60 and 35.
