In this problem, we are asked to find two numbers. Therefore, we must let x be one of them. Let x, then, be the first number.
We are told that the other number is 12 more, x + 12.
The problem states that their sum is 84:
word problem = 84
The line over x + 12 is a grouping symbol called a vinculum. It saves us writing parentheses.
We have:
2x = 84 − 12
= 72.
x = 72
2
= 36.
This is the first number. Therefore the other number is
x + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48.
The sum of 36 + 48 is 84.
hope it helps u dear ave a greate day
