Question

one number is three times another. if the larger number is subtracted from 60, the result is two times the smaller number. find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

90 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no.s be x an y

so x =3y.......so y = x/3

therfore , the two no.s are x and x/3

Now , if x is the larger number , then

$x - \frac{x}{3} = 60 \\ \frac{3x - x}{3} = 60 \\ \frac{2x}{3} = 60 \\ 2x = 180 \\ x = \frac{180}{2} \\ x = 90$

Now, one number is 90 and the other number is 90/3 that is 30

Answer 2

Step-By-Step Explanation :

ANSWER:-

The first number is = 12

The another number is = 36

GIVEN:-

One number is times another = 3 times

Larger number to be subtracted from = 60

Result times the smaller number = 2 times

TO FIND:-

The numbers = ?

SOLVING STEP BY STEP:-

Let one number be = x

Let the another number be = 3x

According to the question:-

The larger number is = 60 - 3x

The smaller number is = 2x

60 - 3x = 2x

60 = 2x + 3x

60 = 5x

x = 60/5

x = 60/5 = 12

x = 12

Hence, the first number is 12.

›»› The another number will be 12 × 3

›»› Another number = 12 × 3

›»› Another number = 12 × 3 = 36

Hence, the another number is 36.
