The sum of two numbers is 54 . the smaller number is 12 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number. Together the numbers=54. Set up the equation: x+x+12=54; Combine the variables; 2x+12=54; Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation; 2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2; x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number. Check: 2(21) +12=54; 42+12=54; 54=54.</span>

I have a two digit number the sum of the digits is 12 the first digit is 4 Less Than 3 times the second what is my number

nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first digit = x

Let the second digit =y

x + y = 12

x + 4 = 3*y

===========

From the second equation, we learn that x = 3y - 4

Put that into the first equation.

3y - 4 + y = 12 Combine the left side

4y - 4 = 12 Add 4 to both sides

4y = 16 Divide by 4

4y/4 = 16/4

y = 4

=================

x + 4 = 12

x + 4 - 4 = 12-4

x = 8

So the number is 84
