Question

Divide 23 into 2 parts such that 3 times the smaller number is equal to 2 times the larger number plus 9. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

One number is 11 and other is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the the 2 numbers be x(larger no.) and y(smaller no.).

Such that,

x+y=23  ----Eq(i)

Eq. (ii):

3y=2x+9

3(23-x)=2x+9

69-3x=2x+9

60=5x

x=12

Substituting x value in Eq.(i)

12+y=23

y=11.
