Answer 1

Answer:2x+12=72

but i have solved this sum(this is irrelevant to the question)

x be the unknown numbe

the other number be x+12

thier sum is 72

x+(x+12)=72

x+x+12=72

2x+12=72

2x=60

x=30

x+12=42

thats the solution

but this question is about equation so equation is 2x+12=72

Answer 2

Answer:

x + (x+12)=72

Step-by-step explanation:

one of the number is x

according to the the statement the second number is 12 more than the first number, that is x

so the second number is x+12

the statement also says that the sum of x and x+12 is 72

so it can be written as x+(x+12)
