Question

F) One number is 78 more than

another. If you add 12 to tbe
smaller number, the result is 50.
What is the larger number?​

Answer 1

The larger number = 116

Explanation:

Let the smaller number = x

Given that one number is 78 more than another, so

The larger number = x+78

Given that if we add 12 to the smaller number, the result is 50, so

`x+12=50`

subtract 12 from both sides

`x+12-12=50-12`

Simplify

`x=38`

Therefore,

• The smaller number = 38

• The larger number = x+78 = 38+78 = 116

Thus, the larger number = 116
