Question

A number is 12 greater than a second number. The sum of the two numbers is 66. What is the the smaller number?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The smaller number would be 27. If the first number is 12 greater than the 2nd number and we have to make it equal to 66. Our smaller number would be 27 becuase if we add 12 to 27 that gives us 39. 39+27= 66. Hopefully that makes sense.
