Answer:
83 and 71
Step-by-step explanation:
One number is twelve less than the other number
Let the one number be x
Let the other number be x - 12
Since one number is 12 , less than the other number, and the total of the two numbers is 154, then, we'll have
x + x - 12 = 154
2x = 154 + 12
2x = 166
x = 83
Therefore, both numbers would be;
First number = x = 83
Second number = x - 12 = 83 - 12 = 71
