To solve this question, follow these steps:
(a) We start by looking to find the sum of 12 multiplied by a given number. However, it seems there is a typo or missing information in the question part (a). To proceed, let’s assume the number to be multiplied by 12 is 1 (as a simple placeholder since the exact multiplier isn’t provided).
So, the sum of 12 multiplied by this assumed number:
[tex]\[ 12 \times 1 = 12 \][/tex]
(b) For this part, we need to find the difference of 28 from the sum of 18 and 23.
First, calculate the sum of 18 and 23:
[tex]\[ 18 + 23 = 41 \][/tex]
Next, find the difference of 28 from this sum:
[tex]\[ 41 - 28 = 13 \][/tex]
Therefore, the solutions are:
- The sum of 12 multiplied by the assumed number: 12
- The difference of 28 from the sum of 18 and 23: 13
So, the detailed answers are:
(a) The sum is 12.
(b) The difference is 13.
