Divide 180 into two parts such that the first part is 12 less than twice the second part

Total number given is 180.

Let the first part = x

Second part = (180 - x)

From the data provided, we get

x = 2 (180 - x ) - 12 .........................(i)

x = 360 - 2x  - 12

3x = 348

x= 116.

First part = 116

Second part = 180 - 116 = 64
