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

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 95 and one number exceeds the other by 15.

To do:

We have to find the numbers.

Solution:

Let the two numbers be $x, x+15$

Therefore,

$x + (x+ 15) = 95$

$2x + 15 = 95$

$2x = 95-15$

$2x=80$

$x=\frac{80}{2}$

$x = 40$

$\Rightarrow x+15=40+15=55\$

Therefore, the two numbers are $40$ and $55$.
