Question

The sum of two number is 84 and one of them is 12 more than the other. What are the two number? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 36

b = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. a be = x

let no. b be = x + 12

x + x + 12 = 84

2x = 84 - 12

2x = 72

x = 72 / 2

x = 36

so; no. a = 36

b = 36 + 12 = 48
