Question

A number is 12 more than the other. find the numbers if their sum is 48​

Answer 1

Since the largest number is 12 more than it, the larger number is x+12. Their sum is x+(x+12)=2x+12. 2x+12=48, since their sum is 48, so 2x=48-12=36, and x=36/2=18.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x.

and the other be x + 12

sum is 48

x + x + 12 = 48

2x + 12 = 48

2x=48-12

2x = 36

x = 36 ÷ 2

x= 18
