Question

The greater at two numbers is 12 more than the smaller and the sum of the
and the sum of the two numbers is 10. find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let greater number be x

Let smaller number be y

Now According to the question,

x=y+12----equation 1

x+y=10----equation 2

Put the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2

x+y=10

y+12+y=10

2y+12=10

2y=10-12

2y=-2

y=-2/2= -1

So the smaller number = y = -1

No put value of y in equation 2

x+y = 10

x+(-1)=10

x-1=10

x=10+1

x=11

So greater number = x =11

GREATER NUMBER =11

SMALLER NUMBER =-1
