Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
A number exceeds other number by 12.
Their sum is 72.
To Find :-
The Numbers.
Solution :-
Let the 1st number be x.
And the 2nd number be x + 12
According to the question
x + x + 12 = 72
⇒ 2x + 12 = 72
⇒ 2x = 72 – 12
⇒ 2x = 60
⇒ x = 30
1st Number = 30
2nd Number = 30 + 12 = 42
Hence, the numbers are 30 and 42.
