hope u understood !!!!

Answer 2

Answer :-

The equation ⇒ x + 3x = 24.

The two numbers are 6 and 18.

Given :-

One number is thrice the other number.

Their sum is 24.

To find :-

The equation.

Step - by Step explanation

Let one of the two numbers be x.

Then the other number = 3x (Since its thrice the other number)

Given, their sum is 24.

So, we get :-

x + 3x = 24

⇒ 4 x = 24

⇒x = 24/4

⇒x=6.

Since the first number (x) = 6,

Therefore the other number = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18.

Verification

To check our answer, we just need to add these two numbers and see whether their sum is 24 or not.

18 + 6 = 24.

Since their sum is 24,

Hence verified!
