Question

the sum of two number is 125600 if the one number is 14400 less than the other number what is the smaller number​

Answer 1

Let largest number be x and smallest number be (x-14400).then x+ x-14400=125600. 2x=125600 +14400》140000÷2= X.X=70000 :largest number =70000 ,smallest =(70000-14400)=55600

Answer 2

Solution :-

Given : The sum of two number is 125600.

One of the number is 14400 less than the other number.

Let the other number be x

Smaller number = x - 14400

According to the question,

=> x + x - 14400 = 125600

=> 2x = 125600 + 14400

=> 2x = 140000

=> x = 140000/2 = 70000

Hence,

Smaller number = x - 14400 = 70000 - 14400 = 55600
