Answer:

the two numbers are 30 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be m and n then

m+n=48.............i)

m - n = 12 ...............ii)

Adding both equations

2m = 60

m = 30

Putting m = 30 in equation i

30 + n = 48

n = 48 - 30

n = 18

Y=-6x^2+100x-180

Hunter-Best [27]

In the figure we have the graphic of this equation. So, the vertex is the maximum of this function. This point means that the maximum daily profit from soccer balls is:

 $y = 236.67$

And this happens when the selling price of each soccer ball is:

 $x = 8.33$

So if you want to get the best daily profit, this is the price you must sell each soccer ball.
