GIVEN:

Sum of two numbers is 90

One number exceeds the second by 16

CONCEPT:

Here we need to form an equation in one variable to get one number and the other number can be hence found.

CALCULATION:

Let the two numbers be x and x + 16.

According to the question,

x + x + 16 = 90

⇒ 2x = 74

⇒ x = 37 and x + 16 = 53

∴ Two numbers are 37 and 53
