Answer:

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.
