  1. 16 - 4 = 12

    12 + 16 = 28

    Soo 12 & 16.


  2. If you set one number as "x" the other would be " x - 4".

    So, adding the two numbers togehter gives the following equation:

    x + (x-4) = 28, or

    2x -4 = 28

    Adding 4 to both sides of the equation gives:

    2x - 4 + 4 = 28+ 4 or

    2x = 32

    Dividing both sides by two gives:

    2x/2 = 32/2 or

    x = 16

    Your other number would be

    x - 4 or

    16-4 = 12

    The two numbers are 12 and 16.

  3. They are 16 & 12!

  4. 16 and 12

  5. 16 and 12.

    Take off the difference, then divide by two, this gives first number;

    add back the difference to the first number to get second.

  6. 16 + 12 = 28

  7. 16 & 12
