1)  

 The sum of two numbers is 42. If one number is 20, what is the other number

Answer: 22


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number y.

Given:

    20 + y = 42.

⇒ y = 42 - 20    ( on transposing + 20 becomes - 20 ).

⇒  y = 22.

Hence, the requried number is 22.



2)  

 The sum of two numbers is 55. If one number is 21, what is the other number

Answer: 34


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number x.

Given:

    21 + x = 55.

⇒ x = 55 - 21    ( on transposing + 21 becomes - 21 ).

⇒  x = 34.

Hence, the requried number is 34.



3)  

 The sum of two numbers is 46. If one number is 18, what is the other number

Answer: 28


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number y.

Given:

    18 + y = 46.

⇒ y = 46 - 18    ( on transposing + 18 becomes - 18 ).

⇒  y = 28.

Hence, the requried number is 28.



4)  

 The sum of two numbers is 40. If one number is 14, what is the other number

Answer: 26


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number x.

Given:

    14 + x = 40.

⇒ x = 40 - 14    ( on transposing + 14 becomes - 14 ).

⇒  x = 26.

Hence, the requried number is 26.



5)  

 The sum of two numbers is 49. If one number is 26, what is the other number

Answer: 23


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number x.

Given:

    26 + x = 49.

⇒ x = 49 - 26    ( on transposing + 26 becomes - 26 ).

⇒  x = 23.

Hence, the requried number is 23.



6)  

 The sum of two numbers is 58. If one number is 20, what is the other number

Answer: 38


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number y.

Given:

    20 + y = 58.

⇒ y = 58 - 20    ( on transposing + 20 becomes - 20 ).

⇒  y = 38.

Hence, the requried number is 38.



7)  

 The sum of two numbers is 51. If one number is 19, what is the other number

Answer: 32


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number y.

Given:

    19 + y = 51.

⇒ y = 51 - 19    ( on transposing + 19 becomes - 19 ).

⇒  y = 32.

Hence, the requried number is 32.



8)  

 The sum of two numbers is 44. If one number is 26, what is the other number

Answer: 18


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number x.

Given:

    26 + x = 44.

⇒ x = 44 - 26    ( on transposing + 26 becomes - 26 ).

⇒  x = 18.

Hence, the requried number is 18.



9)  

 The sum of two numbers is 45. If one number is 15, what is the other number

Answer: 30


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number y.

Given:

    15 + y = 45.

⇒ y = 45 - 15    ( on transposing + 15 becomes - 15 ).

⇒  y = 30.

Hence, the requried number is 30.



10)  

 The sum of two numbers is 51. If one number is 16, what is the other number

Answer: 35


SOLUTION 1 :

Let the required number x.

Given:

    16 + x = 51.

⇒ x = 51 - 16    ( on transposing + 16 becomes - 16 ).

⇒  x = 35.

Hence, the requried number is 35.
