Question

18) If the difference between
two numbers is 26 and one
number is three times the
other, then the numbers are_______​

Answer 1

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

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
