Question

sum of two numbers is 80.if one exceeds the other by 12,find the numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

46 and 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y, where x > y.

x + y = 80

x - 12 = y

∴ x - y = 12

Adding the two equations,

x + y + x - y = 80 + 12

∴ 2x = 92

∴ x = 46

y = 80 - x

  = 80 - 46

  = 34

∴ The two numbers are 46 and 34
