Question

The difference between two numbers is 12. If the smaller number is x, 
a) Write down the larger number in terms of x
b) Find the value of x if their sums 54             
c) Find the product of the two numbers           

Answer 1

Answer:

Given smaller number is x.

Let the larger number be y.

from given condition,

y-x=12.......... (1)

a) y=12+x

b) x+y=54....... (2)

adding equations one and two we get,

y =33

therefore, x=21

c) product=xy

=21×33

=693
