Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1st number = x

2nd number = (x + 12)

Sum of numbers = 72

x + (x + 12) = 72

x + x + 12 = 72

2x + 12 = 72

2x = 72 - 12

2x = 60

x = 60 ÷ 2

x = 30

Hence, 1st number = x

= 30

2nd number = x + 12

= 30 + 12

= 42
