the possible smaller numbers.​


Sagot :

Answer:

The possible value of the smaller number is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number

y be the smaller number

Equation 1: x-y=96

Equation 2: x=245

Plugging the value of x to the first equation we get:

x-y=96

245-y=96

245-96=y

149=y

Hence, The possible value of the smaller number is 149.
