Question

Anumber is 12 mork than the other. Find the numbers if their sum is 48​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The numbers are 18 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the other number be x and x+12

x+12+x=48

2x=48-12

2x=36

x=18

The numbers are 18 and 30
