Question

If we divide 180 into 2 parts such as the second part is 12 more than twice of the first part, then the two parts are????????

Answer 1

Answer:

The two parts are 56 and 124

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two parts be x and y respectively.

ATQ, the two parts are equal to 180.

So, x + y = 180         -(i)

Also, second part = 12 + 2(first part)

So, y = 12 + 2(x)

      y= 12 + 2x            -(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i), we get.

x + 12 + 2x =180

3x = 180-12

3x = 168

x = 56

Also, x + y =180

   or, y = 180 - 56

         y =  124

So, the numbers are 56 and 24.

Hope it helps!
