Answer 2

Answer:

Smaller Number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume smaller number as x

Hence,

Larger number = 4 * smaller number

                         = 4x

Given,

Larger number  + 12 = 5 * smaller number

4x + 12 = 5*x

12 = 5x - 4x

Therefore, x = 12

Larger number = 4*12

                         = 48
