Question

pls help the difference of 2 numbers is 8 and the quotient is 3

Answer 1

Answer:

x=12

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

let two no be x and y

x is greater than y

x-8=y

x/y=3

x=3y

3y-8=y

2y=8

y=4

x=12

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

difference of two numbers is 8

x - y = 8…Eq..1

The quotient is 3

The quotient is the number resulted when one number is divided by other. Accordingly

x/y = 3

Cross multiplication

x = 3y…Eq. 2

The value of x from Eq. 2 is substituted in Eq..1

x - y = 8

3y - y = 8

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

One number is 4

Substituting the value of y in Eq.1 to derive value of x

x - y = 8

x - 4 = 8

x = 8 + 4

x = 12

The two numbers are 4 and 12
