Answer 1

Answer:

16 and 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two parts be x and (72 - x)

According to question

12 times of fist part + 5 times of second part = 472

12x + 5( 72 - x) = 472

12x + 360 - 5x = 472

7x = 472 - 360

7x = 112

x = 16

∴ Two parts of 72 are

x = 16 and (72 - x) =  56
