is 26 and one number is 3 times the other. Find the them.

Solution :

Given :

• The difference between two numbers is 26.

• One number is 3 times the other number.

To find :

• The numbers =?

Step-by-step explanation :

Let, the other number be, x.

Then, the one number be, 3x.

It is Given that,

The difference between two numbers

is 26.

According to the question :

➮ 3x - x = 26

➮ 2x = 26

➮ x = 26/2

➮ x = 13

Therefore, We got the value of, x = 13.

Hence,

The other number, x = 13

And, the one number, 3x = 3 × 13 = 39

Answer 2

Question :

The Difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is 3 times the other . Find the numbers .

Answer:

The two numbers are : 13 and 39

Given:

➨ Difference between two numbers is 26.

➨one number is 3 times the other.

To Find :

The two numbers.

Solution:

Let, the two numbers be m and n

We are given that,

➨ Difference between two numbers is 26.

➨one number is 3 times the other.

⛬ According to first condition,

m - n = 26 ................. ( a )

Now, According to second condition,

m = 3n ..................... ( b )

Now, Substituting ( b ) in (a)

We get ,

➛ 3n - n = 26

➛ 2n = 26

➛ n = 26 / 2

➛ n = 13

Now, put n = 13 in equation ( b )

We get ,

➛ m = 3 × 13

➛ m = 39

Therefore the two numbers are : 13 and 39
