3. 2x+12=48
4. 2x=48-12
5. 2x=36
6. x=18

therefore the numbers are 18 and 30

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the first number be x

according to sum

second number= x+12

sum of two numbers =48

.i.e.x+x+12=48

2x+12=48

2x=48-12

2x=36

x=36/2

x=18

therefore first number=18

second number=x+12

=18+12=30
