Question

one out of two numbers is thrice the other. if their sum is 124, find the numbers

Answer 1

$let \: one \: no. = x \\ then \: other \: no = 3x \\ x + 3x = 124 \\ 4x = 124 \\ x = 124 \div 4 \\ x = 31$
One no. = 31
And other no. =
$3 \times 31 \\ = 93$

Answer 2

Hey, here is your answer.
Let the first number be x
Therefore, the second number will be 3x and their sum is 124
So,
x+3x=124
4x=124
x=124/4, whose value will be 31
FIRST NUMBER= 31
Second number will be 3*31
SECOND NUMBER= 93
