Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given

• The difference of two numbers is 10.
• One number is three times the other number.

To Find

• The number

Step-by-Step-Explaination

Let the first number be x

Second number be y

According to the question

x - y = 10 ----------- 1

and

x = 3y ------------ 2

Putting the value of x in equation (1)

3y - y = 10

=> 2y = 10

=> y = $\frac{10}{2}$

y = 5

Putting values of y in equation 2

x = 3y

x = 3 (5)

x = 15

Hence,

y = 5

x = 15
