Respuesta :
One of the number is 12.
The other number is y.
The sum of the numbers is x.
[tex]12+y=x \\ y=x-12[/tex]
The other number is x-12.
The other number is y.
The sum of the numbers is x.
[tex]12+y=x \\ y=x-12[/tex]
The other number is x-12.
Let
a-------> one of the numbers
b------> the other number
we know that
[tex]a+b=x[/tex] ----> equation A
[tex]a=12[/tex]
substitute the value of a in the equation A
[tex]12+b=x[/tex]
solve for b
Subtract [tex]12[/tex] from both sides
[tex]12+b-12=x-12[/tex]
[tex]b=x-12[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
The other number is [tex]x-12[/tex]
