Question

a positive number is three times another number if 3 is added to the smaller number that difference between new number is greater becomes 31 what are the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:)

let the no be x and 3x

3x-(x+3)=31

3x-x-3=31

2x=31-3

2x=34

X=34÷2

X=17

Answer:-) x=17

3x=3*17=51

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The both the numbers are 17 and 51.

Given:-

Greater number = three times another number

Difference = 31

To Find:-

The both the number.

Solution:-

We can easily find out the both numbers by using these simple steps.

As

A number = three times another number

Difference = 31

So, first we will assume the number.

Let the number be x

Therefore,

Greater number = 3 times smaller number

Greater number = 3x

Smaller number = x

Now, according to the question, we will frame the equation as

3x - (x+3) = 31

3x - x - 3 = 31

2x - 3 = 31

2x = 31+3

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

So, smaller number= 17

Larger number = 3x = 3×17 = 51

Hence, The both the numbers are 17 and 51.
