Sum of 2 numbers is 86 if one number exceeds by other by 12 find the numbers

49, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other be y.

According to the first condition:

x + y = 86(1)

According to the second condition:

x = y + 12 (2)

Substituting x = y + 12 in equation (1)

y + 12 + y = 86

2y = 86 - 12

2y = 74

y = 74/2

y = 37

x = y + 12

x = 37 + 12

x = 49

Thus, the two numbers are 49 and 37
