Answer 1

Answer:

15, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

The second number will be 3x

Given:

x + 3x = 60

4x = 60

x = 15

So one number is 15 and the other is 45

Answer 2

Answer:

1st no: 15 ; 2nd no: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

1st no be X

2nd no be 3X ( as it is said thrice)

And their sum = 60

So,

X+3X= 60

4X = 60

X= 60/4

X = 15 ; 2nd no = 3×15= 45.
