Question 921753
let x, y be the two numbers
   so , x+y = 7.25
one number is 0.25 less than another number
 so x= 0.25+y
 put x=0.25+y in equation x+y =7.25
                           (0.25+y)+y =7.25
                            0.25+y+y =7.25
                             0.25+2y =7.25
                              subtract 0.25 on both sides
                               0.25+2y-0.25 =7.25-0.25
                               0.25-0.25+2y = 7.00
                                2y = 7 
divide with 2 on both sides
          2y/2 =7/2
                  y =3.5 
 
                   so , x= 0.25+3.5 
                        x=3.75 
sso numbers are 3.75 & 3.5
