​

Answer 1

Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

if the answer is 128 the one is 16 other number we will find by doing 128 -16= 112

Answer 2

first number = x

second number = x+16

sum of both numbers is 128.

x + (x+16) = 128

2x +16 = 128

x= 56.

.

.

.

now, substitute the value of x for both numbers.

our first number was simply x, so it is 56

our second number was (x+16), so it is 56+16 = 72

SO, YOUR NUMBERS ARE 56 AND 72.
