Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

30 & 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

According to the question X = 12 + y --------(i)

And X + y = 48. -------(ii)

(12 + y) + y = 48. ( From (i))

12 + 2y = 48

2y = 36

y = 18

We know X + y = 48

So X = 30
