Answer 2

✬ Smaller number = –1 ✬

✬ Larger number = 11 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• A number is 12 more than the smaller number.
• Sum of two numbers is 10.

To Find:

• What are the two numbers ?

Solution: Let the smaller number be x. Therefore,

➙ Larger number = 12 more than smaller

➙ Larger number = (x + 12)

Now, According to the question

• Smaller number + Larger number = 10

$\implies{\rm }$ x + (x + 12) = 10

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x + 12 = 10

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x = 10 – 12

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x = – 2

$\implies{\rm }$ x = –2/2

$\implies{\rm }$ x = – 1

So,

➭ Smaller number is x = –1

➭ Larger number is (x + 12) = –1+12 = 11
