the sum of two numbers is 64 , and one of them is 12 more than the other . what are the two numbers ?
"in this problem , we are asked to find two numbers . therefore , we must let x be one of them . let x , then , be the first number . we are told that the other number is 12 more , x + 12 . the problem states that their sum is 64 : word problem = 64 the line over x + 12 is a grouping symbol called a vinculum . it saves us writing parentheses . we have : 2 x = 64 â ˆ ’ 12 = 52 . x = 52 / 2 = 26 . this is the first number . therefore the other number is x + 12 = 26 + 12 = 38 . the sum of 26 + 38 is 64 . a"
divide(subtract(64, 12), const_2)
