Question

one number say x is thrice the other number ig greater number is subtracted from 60 the result is 5 less than the smaller number subtracted from 55 find the number x
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be a

Second number = 3a

According to question,

60 - 3a = ( 55 - a) - 5

⟹ 60 - 3a = 55 - a - 5

⟹ 60 - 3a = 50 - a

⟹ 60 - 50 = 3a - a

⟹ 2a = 10

⟹ a = 5

First number = a = 5 ans.

Second number = 3a = 3 × 5 = 15 ans.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 3$

$= 60 - 5$

$x + 3 = 55$

$x = 55 - 3$

$x = 52$
