Question

QUESTION 11 The difference between two natural numbers is 12 and their sum is 54. Calculate the value of the larger number.​

Answer 1

Answer: The value of the larger number is 33

Explanation:

Let's take the 2 natural numbers as x and y. According to the information,

x + y = 54

x - y = 12

Let's perform addition to these simultaneous equations / system of equations

x+x= 2x

y+-y = 0

54+12=66

so, it gives 2x +. 0 = 66

2x = 66

x = 66/2 = 33

x = 33

Substituting x into x + y = 54,

33 + y = 54

y = 54 - 33 = 21

y = 21

The larger number is x, which is 33

Answer 2

....x-y=12

x+y=54

2x=66

x= 33

value of the larger number. :33
