Answer 1

Heya mate! Here is your answer ✌☺☺



Let the 1st number be x

Given, one number is three times the other number.

So let the 2nd number be 3x

Given, their difference = 12


According to the question,

3x - x = 12

➾ 2x = 12

➾ x = $\dfrac{12}{2}$

➾ x = 6



1st number ➾ x

➾ $6$


2nd number ➾ 3x

➾ 3 × 6

➾ $18$





∴ The two numbers are 6 and 18 respectively.

Answer 2

here is your answer OK ☺☺☺☺☺☺

let the number x and y..................

x + y = 12

first number = 3x

second number = x

so 3x - x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6.

first number = 6

second number = in this given question that three time of first number so 6 x 3 = 18

OK I hope I help you
