Question

One number is 12 more than another number. If one half of the smaller number equals one third of the larger number, what is the larger number?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=24

y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smaller number

y=larger number

x+12=y         x/2=y/3

                   x/2=(x+12)/3

cross multiply and distribute

                   3x=2x+24

                   x=24

24+12=y

y=36
