Question

One number is three times the other if the larger number is subtracted from 60 the result is two times times the smaller number find the both number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let small number be X

large number = 3(X)=3x

3x-60=2(X)

3x-60=2x

3x-2x=60

=X=60

large number=3(X)=3(60)=180

therefore larger number=180, smaller number=60
