Divide 72 into two parts, so that the larger part exceeds the smaller part by 12. Find both the parts.
Given :
Divide 72 into two parts and the larger part exceeds the smaller part by 12
To find :
We have to find both the parts.
Solution :
Let the two numbers be x and y.
The larger part exceeds the smaller part by 12.
$x = y+12$
$x+y = 72$
$y+12+y =72$
$2y = 72-12$
$2y = 60$
$y = \frac{60}{2}$
$y = 30$
$x = 30+12$
$x = 42$
The parts are 42 and 30.
