Question

one out of two numbers in size of other if their sum is 124 find the other find the number

Answer 1

QUESTION => One out of the two numbers is thrice of the other. If their sum is 124, find the other and also find the numbers.


SOLUTION :-


Let one number be x

Let the other number be 3x

Given, the sum pf two numbers is 124


A/q,

x + 3x = 124

4x = 124

x = $\dfrac{124}{4}$

x = 31


$\star{}$ 1st number => x => 31

$\star{}$ 2nd number => 3x => 3 × 31 => 93

Answer 2

here is your answer OK


Let the numbers are x and y
One is thrice the other
x=3 y 1 equation
x+y=124 2 equation
take the value of x in (2)
3y+y=124
4y=124
4y/4=124/4 (divide by 4 both sides)
y=31
now put the value of y in (1)
x=3y
x=3(31)
x=93
this is answer the numbers are 31,93
