Question

Divide 300 into two parts so that one part becomes less than the other by 48.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 168

y = 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 parts be x & y such that,

x + y = 300   ...(i)

or  x = 300 - y  ...(ii)

according 2 question,

1/2 x + 48 = y

(x + 96)/2 = y

x + 96 = 2y

x - 2y = -96

Using ...(ii), we have

300 - y - 2y = -96

300 - 3y = -96

396 = 3y

y = 132

substotuting above result in ...(i), we have

x + 132 = 300

x = 300 - 132

x = 168

therefore, x = 168 ; y = 132 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

let the second part be x so first part = x-48

according to question :-

x+x-48 = 300

2x = 300+48

x = 348/2 = 174

first number = 174

second number = 174-48 = 126
