Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let, one no. is x and second no. is x +12

now, according to question,

x +x+12= 180

2x =180-12

2x= 168

x=84

and second no. =x+12 =84+12 =96

Answer 2

Answer:

116 , 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first part be x

Second part be y

According to question

x + y = 180 -------------------- Equation 1

x = 2y - 12

x - 2y = -12 ---------------------Equation 2

Solving 1 and 2

3y = 192

y = 64

Putting in equation 2

x = 116

Hence, The two parts are 116 , 64
