Answer»

(a) If smaller number is x, the other number is .(use sum)

From the question it is given that smaller number is x,

Then, the other number is 60 – x

(b) The difference of numbers in term of x is .

From the question, smaller number be x, and other number be (60 – x)

Then,

Difference between the numbers = (60 – x) – x

= 60 – x – x

= 60 – 2x

(c) The equation formed is .

As per the condition given the question, differenc of the two numbers is 30.

So, 60 – 2x = 30

Transpose, -2x to RHS then it becomes 2x and 30 to LHS it becomes -30,

60 – 30 = 2x

30 = 2x

(d) The solution of the equation is .

30 = 2x

x = 30/2

x = 15

(e) The numbers are and .

x = 15

60 – x = 60 – 15

= 45

The numbers are 15 and 45.
