1. let the two numbers be x and y respectively

   sum of 2 numbers is 27

   x + y = 27 _____(1)

   one number is exceeded other by 4

   x – y = 4 ______(2)

   by adding eqn we get

   2x = 31

   x = 31/2

   x = 15.5

   y = 11.5

2. Answer:

   we have a puzzle here. we don’t know the numbers. we have to find them .

   let the smaller number ‘ X’ then the bigger number will be ‘X+4’.

   but it is given that sum of these two numbers is 27.

   Step-by-step explanation:

   • x+x+4 = 27
   • 2x+4 = 27
   • since, 2x = 27-4
   • 2x= 22
   • x= 22/2
   • x= 11
   • therefore the smaller number= x= 12 and bigger number = x+4 = 11+4 = 15
