Answer 1

Answer:

X = 15, Y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greater no. beX and smaller one be Y.

According to the question,

X=3Y --------------(i)

60-X=55-y-5 -------------(ii)

so, putting the equation(i) in (ii), we get,

60-3Y=50-Y

=> 2Y= 10

=> Y= 5.

X=3Y

=3×5

= 15

.°. X=15 and Y=5
