Question

One number is 3 times another number. If 5 is added to both the numbers, then one of the new numbers becomes twice that of the other new number. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st number be x

then, second number = 3x

ATQ, (according to question)

3x + 5 = 2(x+5)

3x + 5 = 2x + 10

3x - 2x = 10 - 5

x = 5

therefore,

1st number will be = 5

second number will be = 3x  (put the value of x in it)

                                      = 3 × 5

                                    = 15

Hence, the numbers are 5 and 15...
