Question

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

Answer 1

Let The Smaller And Greater Number Be x; x+12 Respectively.
x + x + 12 = 10
2 x + 12 = 10
2 x = 10 - 12
2 x = - 2
x = -2 / 2
x = - 1
Therefore, The Smaller Number = - 1 
The Greater Number = -1 + 12 = 11

Hope It Helps!!! : )

Answer 2

hye

==================================

let the number be x

one number is 12 greater than other

other number = x +12

sum of the two numbers is 10

so lets form an equation


=>x+x+12 = 10

=>2x +12 = 10

=>2x = 10 -12

=>2x = -2

=>x = -2/2

=>x = -1

one number is -1

other number = x +12

=>-1 +12

=>11

so the two numbers are -1 and 11
