Answer:

30 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Divide 72 into two parts so that the larger part exceeds the smaller by 12.

If one part is x then another part is x+12.

[tex]x + x + 12 = 72\\\\2x + 12 = 72\\\\2x = 72 - 12\\\\2x = 60\\\\x = 30[/tex]

Hence, both two parts are 30 and 42.
