Question

(1) The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other.
Find them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let two numbers be x & y

x−y=26 ____ (1)

x=3y ____ (2)

substituting (2) in (1) we get

3y−y−26

2y=26

y=13

x=3y from (2)

x=3×13

x=39

we need to find sum of two numbers

x+y=39+13

=52

Answer 2

Answer:

let,

first no.be x

another no. be y

A/Q

x-y=26_(1)

x=3y or x-3y=0_(2)

from eq. (1).

3y-y=26

2y=26

y=13

therefore,

x=39
