  1. 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.
