Let one number be X

Let the other number be Y

According to the given question,

X + Y. = 16

X= 3Y

Putting value of x ,


3Y + Y = 16

4Y = 16

Y=4

X= 16-4

X= 12



Hence the numbers are 12 and 4


Hope it helps you ✌✌

Answer 2

Here is your answer dear☺


Let the x be the first number

Let 3x be the second number

So, x + 3x = 16

=> 4x = 16

=> x = $\frac{16}{4}$

=> x = 4

First number is 4

Second number is 4 × 3 = 12

So, the two numbers are 4 and 12




Hope my answer helps.☺
