Question

If the sum of two positive numbers is 44 and one number is three times the other number, ​then find the numbers

Answer 1

let a number be x
a number is 3 times the other number= 3x
sum of the numbers = 44
x+3x=44
4x=44
x=44/4
x=11
one number is 11
other number = 3x=3*11=33
Check:
33+11=44
44=44
Hence checked .

Answer 2

let first no.=3x
let second no.=x
3x+x=44
4x=44
x=11
so then first no.=3x=3×11=33
second no.=x=11
