Question

If a number exceeds the other number 12 . If their sum is 72, find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

so the other no. is x+12

therefore x+x+12 =72

=2x +12=72

=2x=60

hence x=30 and x+12=42

Answer 2

Answer:

30,42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x & x+12

x + (x+12) = 72

2x + 12 = 72

x = 60/2 = 30

Other number = x+12 = 30+12 = 42
