Two numbers total 10, and there difference is 12. Find a smaller of the two numbers.

There doesn't seem to be numbers to answer that, do you have the question right? If it was a difference of 18, for example, the numbers would be 64 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 numbers that added together, equal 10.

91

82

73

64

55

46

37

28

19

Then subtract them by their opposites. Find the numbers with the difference of 12.

91 - 19 = 72

82 - 28 = 54

73 - 37 = 36

64 - 46 = 18

55 - 55 = 0

46 - 64 = - 18

37 - 73 = - 36

28 - 82 = - 54

19 - 91 = - 72

There is no numbers with the difference of 12.

If it was a difference of 18, for example, the numbers would be 64 and 36.
