Respuesta :

X + (X - 14) + 7 = 85

2x - 7 = 85

2x = 92

X = 46

Now, 36 - 14 = 32

Therefore, the numbers are 46 and 32.

Answer:

The numbers are 46 and 32

Solution:

Let us assume the numbers are x and y.

One number is 14 less than another,  

so [tex]x-14=y[/tex] …………. (i)

If their sum is increased by 7, the result is 85

So,[tex]x+y+7=85[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x+y=78[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x+x-14=78[/tex]  (//substituting value from (i))

[tex]\Rightarrow 2 x=92[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=46[/tex]

So, [tex]y=(46-14)=32[/tex]

The numbers are 46 and 32.
