Question

Divide 180 into two parts such that the first part is 12 less than twee the second part,​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the second part be x

first part =2x-12

x+2x-12=180

3x=192

x=192/3

x=64

so first part=2×64-12

first part =128-12=116

Answer 2

Answer:

64 and 116  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second part be x.

Then the first part = 2x - 12

Also,  First part + second part = 180

⇒ 2x - 12 + x = 180

⇒ 3x - 12 = 180

⇒ 3x = 180 + 12

⇒ 3x = 192

⇒ x = 192 / 3

⇒ x = 64

So, the first part = (2 * 64) - 12 = 116 and the second part = 64
