The sum of two numbers is 400. one of them is 20 more than the other. find the larger number.

Let the first number be x

the other is 20 more than the other so it is (x+20)

The sum =400

x+(x+20)=400

2x+20=400

subtruct 20 from both sides:

2x=400-20

2x=380

x=190

The second number is 190+20 =210

So the larger number is 210
