Question

One number is greater by 2 than thrice another number, and 6 times the smaller exceeds the greater by 1. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let 1st no. be x and 2nd be y

as x is greater than 3x by 2

so x-3y=2.....................(i)

as from eq (i) we can observe that y is smaller than x

so, 4y-x=5;...............(ii)

adding eq (i) and (ii)

  x-3y=2

 -x+4y=5

⇒4y-3y=7

⇒y=7

substituting value of y in eq(i)

we get x-21=2

⇒x=23

the nos. are 7 and 23    (ans)
