<PRE><B>Question 95280</B>
The difference between two numbers is 12.
The two numbers are: x and (x+12) 


If 20 is added to twice the larger number the result is 4 more than 3 times the smaller number.
      2(x+12) + 20 = 3x + 4
      2x + 24 + 20 = 3x + 4
           2x + 44 = 3x + 4
           2x - 3x = 4 - 44
               -1x = -40
                 x = +40
;
 Find the two numbers.
The numbers are 40 and 52
:
:
Check solutions in the equation:
2(52) + 20 = 3(40) + 4
  104 + 20 = 120 + 4</PRE>
