Question

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

Answer 1

one number = x

other number = 12 + x

x + 12 +x = 10

2x = -12 + 10

x = -1

other number = 12 + -1 = 11

numbers 11 and -1

Answer 2

Solution -

Let's assume one number as x

So, the anothet numbet as x + 12

According to Question,

Given : Sum of numbers = 10

x + x + 12 = 10

⇒ 2x = 10 - 12

⇒ 2x = - 2

⇒ x = - 2 / 2

⇒ x = - 1

Required Numbers -

One number = x = - 1

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

Hence, the required numbers are - 1 and 11
