Question

If the sum of two whole numbers is 24 more than their difference, then one of the number must be

a) 0 b) 6 c) 12 d) 48

Answer 1

C) 12

Explanation:

A + B = 24 + A - B

Rearrange to get the integer on it's own:

A - A + B + B = 24

2B = 24

Solve for B

B = 12

If B = 12, A = 12

The sum = 24

And the difference = 0

Answer 2

Answer would be c

Explanation:

12+12=24 12-12=0
