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

Sum of two number = 95
Let the first number be x, then another number be x+15.
According to the question, x+x+15=95
⇒ 2x+15=95
⇒ 2x+15-15=95-15 [Subtracting 15 from both sides]
⇒ 2x=80
⇒ 2x/2=80/2 [Dividing both sides by 2]
⇒ x=40

So, the first number = 40 and another number = 40 + 15 = 55
Hence, the two numbers are 40 and 55.
