Question

one number is three times another. if the large number is subtracted from 60, the result is 5 less than the smaller number when subtracted from 55.find the number ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

three times a number means 3x and number means x

so subtract 60 from the larger number that is 3x

=) 60 - 3x

then the result of 60 - 3x =) 5 less than the smaller number that is x=) x -5

so the equation =)

60 - 3x = x - 5

=) -3x + x = -60 -5

=) -2x = -65

=) 2x = -65
