Let the numbers are x and y. From the given data we can write two equations with these variables x and y. The sum of two numbers is 95. that is x+y=95..............(1) One exceeds the other by 15. that is x=y+15.............(2) By giving (2) in (1) x+y=95 y+15+y=95 2y=95-15=80 y=80/2=40 from(2) x=y+15=40+15=55 So...

Let the numbers are x and y.

From the given data we can write two equations with these variables x and y.

The sum of two numbers is 95. that is

x+y=95..............(1)

One exceeds the other by 15. that is 

x=y+15.............(2)

By giving (2) in (1)

x+y=95

y+15+y=95

2y=95-15=80

y=80/2=40

from(2)

x=y+15=40+15=55

So the numbers are 55 and 40

One number is =x Second number is= x-15 Then x+x-15=95 2x-15=95 2x=95+15 2x=110 x=110/2 x=55 So ,one number is 55 and second number is 55-15=40

Let the numbers be x and y. Given x+y=95 and X-y=15 Solving we get 2y=80 So y= 80/2 = 40 X=95-40 = 55 So the numbers are 40 and 55.

55, 40

Let one number be x. Therefore, the other number will be x + 15. According to the question, x + x + 15 = 95 2x + 15 = 95 On transposing 15 to R.H.S, we obtain 2x = 95 − 15 2x = 80 On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain x = 40 x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55 Hence, the numbers are 40 and 55.

Let one number be x. Therefore, the other number will be x + 15.

According to the question,

x + x + 15 = 95

2x + 15 = 95

On transposing 15 to R.H.S, we obtain

2x = 95 − 15

2x = 80

On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain

x = 40

x + 15 = 40 + 15 = 55

Hence, the numbers are 40 and 55.
