Question

One number is 3 times another if the larger number is subtracted from 16 the result is 5 less than the smaller number subtracted from 55 find the numbers

Answer 1

From what I understood,
Two numbers a, b.   
One number is three times another :  a = 3b
If larger number is subtracted from 16 :  a - 16
result is 5 less than smaller number subtracted from 55 :   55 - b - 5 (= a- 16)
i.e.  a - 16 = 55 - b - 5
a - 16 = 50 - b  (but a = 3b)
4b = 66   then  b = 16.5
a = 3b = 49.5
