Question

The sum of two numbers is 35 One number is 23 more than the other Solve to find each number Help please???

Answer 1

`29 and 6`

Explanation:

The sum can be defined as two numbers added together.

I would start by listing all the possible outcomes, although this can be time-consuming if a large number.

`1) 34 and 1`
`2) 33 and 2`
`3) 32 and 3`
`4) 31 and 4`
`5) 30 and 5`
`6) 29 and 6`
`7) 28 and 7`
`8) 27 and 8`
`9) 26 and 9`
`10) 25 and 10`

Now take away the smaller number from the bigger number:

`1)33`
`2)31`
`3)29`
`4)27`
`5)25`
`6)23`

Since `29-6=23` and `29+6=35`, these can be used

Answer 2

`6 and 29`.

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is `35`.

One number is `23` more than the other number.

So, if we subtract this additional `23` from the sum `35`, we are

left with the sum of two equal numbers.

Dividing this difference in two equal parts, we get

one number and the other one will be `23` more.

Thus, the desired numbers are, `1/2(35-23)=1/2*12=6` &

`6+23=29`.

Enjoy Maths.!

Answer 3

The two numbers are `6 and 29`

Explanation:

We can define the two numbers using one variable because we know the relationship between the numbers,

Let the smaller number be `x`

The larger number differs by `23`,. It will be `x+23`

The sum of the numbers is `35`

`x+x+23= 35`

`2x = 35-23`

`2x = 12`

`x =6" "larr` this is the smaller number,

The larger number is `6+23= 29`

Check: `6+29 =35" " and 29-23 =6`
