Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x

Given,

x-85078=78318

x=85078+78318

x=163396

Answer 2

Answer

The larger number is 163396.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The larger number.

★ Solution

Given that,

• The difference between two numbers = 78,318
• The smaller number = 85,078

Assumption

Let us assume the larger number as (x),

∴ x - 85,078 = 78,318

⇒ x - 85,078 = 78,318

⇒ x = 78,318 + 85,078

⇒ x = 163,390

We got, The value of x as 163390.

Hence,

The larger number is 163390.

V E R I F I C A T I O N :-

• x - 85078 = 78318

By putting the value of x in L.H.S and simplifying :-

⇒ x - 85078

⇒ 163390 - 85078

⇒ 78318

Now, L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified!
