One number exceeds another by 5. The sum of the numbers is 25. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

$\bold{\huge{\pink{\underline{ Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

• The sum of two numbers is 25
• One number exceeds another by 5

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}$

• We have to find the two numbers.

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin:- }}$

Let the number be x

Therefore,

Another number be x + 5

According to the question,

$\sf{ x + ( x + 5 ) = 25}$

$\sf{ x + x + 5 = 25}$

$\sf{ 2x + 5 = 25}$

$\sf{ 2x = 25 - 5}$

$\sf{ 2x = 20 }$

$\sf{ x = 20/2}$

$\sf{ x = 10 }$

Thus, The first number is 10

Therefore,

Another number will be

$\sf{ = x + 5 }$

$\sf{ = 10 + 5 }$

$\sf{ = 15 }$

$\sf{\red{Hence, \:The \:two \:numbers\: are \:10 \:and\: 15}}$

Answer 2

The numbers are ten and fifteen (brainliest please)
