Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

3x + 1x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 26

X = 26 by 4

X= 6.5

3x= 6.5 multiply with 3

19.5 plus 6.5 =26

Answer 2

Answer:

Given, let one number be x and the other be 3x (A/Q).

The difference of both the numbers is 26.

Hence, 3x - x = 26

So, 2x = 26

Hence, x = 13

So, both the numbers here are x = 13 ans 3x = 39.

VERIFICATION:-

2x = 26

2 * 13 = 26

26 = 26

Hence verified.
