Answer 1

let numbers x and y
x+y=84
x=y+12
y+12+y=84
2y+12=84
2y= 72
y=36
x=36+12=48
numbers are 36 and 48

Answer 2

Answer: The numbers are 36 and 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be y.

ATQ,

y = x + 12

Sum of the numbers is 84. Therefore,

⇒ $x+y = 84$

⇒ $x+x+12 = 84$

⇒ $2x = 72$

⇒ $x = 36$

y = x + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

The numbers are 36 and 48.
