2. One number is three times another. If the larger number is subtracted from 60, the result is two times the smaller number. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3y

60-x=2y

ie, 60-3y=2y

60=5y

60÷5=y

y=12

ie, x=3×12=36

Answer 2

Answer:

1st number =12

2nd number =36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st number be =x

Let the 2nd number be=3x

2nd number be =60-3x

1st number be=2x

ATQ,

60-3x =2x

60=2x+3x

60 =5x

x= 5/60

x= 12

1st number is= 12

2nd number is=12x3= 36
