What is the larger number?​


Sagot :

Answer:

The larger number = 116

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number = x

Given that one number is 78 more than  another, so

The larger number = x+78

Given that if we add 12 to the  smaller number, the result is 50, so

[tex]x+12=50[/tex]

subtract 12 from both sides

[tex]x+12-12=50-12[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=38[/tex]

Therefore,

  • The smaller number = 38
  • The larger number = x+78 = 38+78 = 116

Thus, the larger number = 116
