let the 2 numbers be x and y (x>y)
2(x+y)=60
or,x+y=30………1
x=2y+12
or,x-2y=12………2
solving 1 and 2
X+y=30
x-2y=12
…………………
sub)3y=18
y=6
putting y=6 in equation 1
x=24
hence the number are 24 and 6
2(x+y)=60
or,x+y=30………1
x=2y+12
or,x-2y=12………2
solving 1 and 2
X+y=30
x-2y=12
…………………
sub)3y=18
y=6
putting y=6 in equation 1
x=24
hence the number are 24 and 6
