Question

A number exceeds the other number by 12 .if their sum is 72 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

first no. = x

second no. = x + 12

also

x + x + 12 = 72

2x = 60

x = 30

so the no.s are 30 and 42

Answer 2

let the first no. be x

let the second no. be x+12(according to question)

now,

x+(x+12)=72

2x=60

x=30

x+12=30+12

=42

therefore, first no. is 30 and second no. is 42.
