A= 15 +B  ⇒ A−B= 15  ...(1)   A+B= 121 ...(2)     (1)+(2) ⇒ 2A= 136 ⇒ A= 68      from (1) B= A−15 ⇒ B= 53
$${A}=\:\mathrm{15}\:+{B}\:\:\Rightarrow\:{A}−{B}=\:\mathrm{15}\:\:…\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\:{A}+{B}=\:\mathrm{121}\:…\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right)+\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{2}{A}=\:\mathrm{136}\:\Rightarrow\:{A}=\:\mathrm{68}\: \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\:{from}\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:{B}=\:{A}−\mathrm{15}\:\Rightarrow\:{B}=\:\mathrm{53} \\ $$
