Question

One number is three times another. If the larger number is subtracted from 48 , the result is 4 less than the smaller number subtracted from 32, find the larger number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x

let the smaller number be y

x=3y

48-x=4-32-y

48-3y=36-y

48-36=--y+3y

12=2y

12÷2=y

y=6

x=3×6

x=18

Hence the larger number is 18

Answer 2

Answer:

X= 3Y

48-3Y=4-32-Y

48-3Y=36-Y

48-36= -Y+3Y

12=2Y

Y= 12÷2

Y= 6

THEN X= 3×6

X= 18

ANSWER IS X=18,Y=6
