Question

* A number exceeds the other number by 12. If their sum is 72, find the
number.

Answer 1

Answer:

one number 30 and other number 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be '$x$'

Other number = '$x+12$'

According to the question

$=x+x+12=72\\=2x + 12=72\\=2x=72-12\\=2x=60\\=x=60/2\\=x=30$

Other number = $x+12$

=$30+12\\=42$

Answer 2

Answer:

let one no be y and other be x, as one exceeds other by 12 so y=x+12 , according to the question:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+12

x+y=72 so,

putting value of y

x+(x+12)=72

2x=72-12

x=60/2

x=30

putting value of x

30+y=72

y=72-30

y=42

hence 30+42=72

so x=30 and y=42
