the sum of two numbers is 12. When one number is subtracted from three

1.	the sum of two numbers is 12. When one number is subtracted from three times the other, the result is 5. Find the numbers?
Answer» ANSWER: hi Step-by-step explanation: Let TWO numbers be x & y. Sum of two numbers is 12 so we GET EQ, x+y =12.......eq 1 one number is subtracted from other its -4, so we get eq, x-y=-4........eq 2 adding eq 1 & eq 2, we get, 2x=8 x=4 substituting x=4 in eq 1, we get 4+y=12 y=8 so two numbers are 4 & 8. check: LHS of eq 1=x+y = 4+8=12= RHS LHS of eq 2= x-y=4-8=-4= RHS. so its verified ANS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let TWO numbers be x & y.

Sum of two numbers is 12 so we GET EQ,

x+y =12.......eq 1

one number is subtracted from other its -4, so we get eq,

x-y=-4........eq 2

adding eq 1 & eq 2, we get,

2x=8

x=4

substituting x=4 in eq 1, we get 4+y=12

y=8

so two numbers are 4 & 8.

check: LHS of eq 1=x+y = 4+8=12= RHS

LHS of eq 2= x-y=4-8=-4= RHS.

so its verified ANS.
