A number is greater than another number than 10 when it is subtracted from 12 times the smaller number the difference is 45 find the sum of the numbers
+36923 Let x be the number
the smaller number is then x-10
Now 12 (x-10) - x = 45
12x - 120 - x = 45
11x = 165
x = 15 then the smaller number is x-10 = 5 then the sum is 20
