Answer 1

Answer:

one No. = 31 and Another = 113

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sum of two numbers =144

one of the number is smaller than other number

let smaller number = a

another no = a + 82

a+ a+82 = 144

2a = 144 - 82 = 62

a = 31 and a + 82 = 113

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 113 and 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y,

From first info:

y=x+82----------(i)(One number is smaller than the other)

From 2nd info:

x+y=144(Sum of numbers is 144)

x+x+82=144 (From i)

2x=144-82

2x=62

x=31

y=31+82(From i)

y=113
