Question

the greater of the two number is 12 more than the smaller and the sum of the two numbers is 10 ​

Answer 1

let the smaller no. be x

so , the greater no. = 12+x

according to the question ,

smaller no. +greater no.= 10

x+12+x =10

2x+12 = 10

2x = 10 - 12

2x = -2

x = -2/2

x = -1

smaller no. = x=-1

greater no. = 12 + x

= 12 + (-1)

= 11
