Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greater no. be 'x' and the smaller no. be 'y'

According to the first condition,

X+Y=20.....(1)

According to the second condition,

X-Y=4.....(2)

Adding equation no. (1) & (2) we get,

X+Y=20

+

X-Y=4

_____

2X=24

X=24/2. X=12✔️

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first no be x

Let the second no be y

now ,

x+y=20 ( the sum of two no )

x-y=4 ( the difference of two no )

2x=24

x= 24/2

x= 12

now ,x-y=4

12-y=4

y=4-12

- y= -8

now (-) (-) will be cut

y=8

x is greater
