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

Answer 1

13 and 39 are the two numbers where the difference between them is 26 and one number is 3 times the other number.

Given:

The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other number.

To find:

Two numbers = ?

Solution:

Given, the difference between two numbers is 26.

So, let us take one of the number to be x.

Thus, the other number is = 26 + x=26+x

Also, given, one number is three times the other number, i.e.

3x = (26 – x)3x=(26–x)

3x - x = 263x−x =26

2x = 262x=26

x = $\frac{26}{2}$

x = 13.x=13.

So, one of the number is = 13.=13.

Thus, the other number is = 26 + 13 = 39=26+13=39

Hence, the two numbers are 13 and 39.

hope it helps ☺️☺️

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

the another one is three times of other so 3x

according to the question

3x-x=26

=>2x=26

=>x=13

so 3x=3×13=39

so the numbers are 39 and 13
