x = larger number, y = smaller number

x = y + 12
x + y = 74

y + 12 + y = 74
2y + 12 = 74
2y = 74 - 12
2y = 62
y = 62/2
y = 31

x = y + 12
x = 31 + 12
x = 43

so ur 2 numbers are : 43 and 31

Small and big number respectively are 31 and 43

Given that;

Larger number is 12 more than smaller number

Sum of both number is 74

Find:

Both number

Computation:

Assume;

Smaller number = a

So,

Large number = 12 + a

So,

a + 12 + a = 74

2a + 12 = 74

2a = 62

a = 31

Smaller number = 32

Large number = 12 + a

Large number = 12 + 31

Large number =  43
