Question

EXERCISE 7 (B) ST to od
1. The greater of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller and the sum of the two numbers is 10. Find the
numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be X

Greater number = X + 12

Sum of the numbers = 10

According to the question,

$x + x + 12 = 10 \\ = > 2x + 12 = 10 \\ = > 2x = 10 - 12 \\ = > 2x = - 2 \\ = > x = \frac{ - 2}{2}\\ = >x = - 1$

Smaller Number = X = –1

Greater number = X + 12 = –1+12 = 11
