Answer 1

Answer:

one is six and another is twelve

Answer 2

Given :

• The sum of two numbers is 18
• The difference of two numbers is 12

To Find :

• The two numbers.

Solution :

Let,

• The first number be x
• The second number be x - 12

According to the Question :

⠀⟶⠀Sun of the two numbers = 18

⠀⟶⠀x + (x - 12) = 18

⠀⟶⠀x + x - 12 = 18

⠀⟶⠀2x - 12 = 18

⠀⟶⠀2x = 18 + 12

⠀⟶⠀2x = 30

⠀⟶⠀x = 30/2

⠀⟶⠀x = 15

Therefore :

• First Number = x
• First Number = 15

• Second Number = x - 12
• Second Number = 15 - 12
• Second Number = 3

So, Correct Option is a i.e 15,3
