Question

the grater of two numbers is 12 more then the smaller and the sum of two numbers is 10. find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is -1 as found below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take into an assumption that the smaller number among the two is m.

Now it has been stated here as above that the greater among the two given numbers is 12 more than the smaller one. Therefore,

Bigger number = m + 12

Smaller number = m

According to the given, we have the sum of these two numbers to be 10.

m + m + 12 = 10

⇒ 2m + 12 = 10

⇒ 2m = 10 - 12

⇒ 2m = -2

⇒ m = -2 ÷ 2

⇒ m = -1

Therefore the smaller number is -1 .

The bigger number = m + 12 = -1 + 12 = 11

Hence bigger number is 11.
