Question

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

Answer 1

let,
the smaller no. be x
hence, greater no. = 12+x
A/Q,
x+12+x =10
=> 2x=10-12
=> x. = -2/2
=> x. = -1

smaller no. = -1
greater no. = 12+(-1)
= 11

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are -1 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The greater of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller and the sum of the two numbers is 10

To Find : find the numbers

Solution :

Let the smaller no. be x

we are given that The greater of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller

So, greater number = x+12

We are also given that the sum of the two numbers is 10

So, $x+x+12=10$

$2x+12=10$

$2x=-2$

$x=-1$

Smaller number = -1

Greater number = x+12=-1+12=11

Hence the numbers are -1 and 11
