The sum of two numbers is 158. One of the numbers exceeds the other by 8. Which are the two numbers.
Let the first number =x.
second number =8 exceeds the first number.
=x+8.
Given sum of two number =158
x+(x+8)=158
⇒2x+8=158
⇒2x=158−8
⇒2x=150
⇒x=1502
⇒x=75
Therefore, first number x=75.
Second number x+8=75+8=83.
