Q. 20 The difference between two whole numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other.

Solution :-

Let the larger number be x                  

Let the smaller number be y                  

According to the question,            

⇒ x – y = 26                  

⇒ x = 26 + y                  

Then,      

⇒ x = 3y                  

Putting the value of x we get                  

⇒ 26 = 3y-y

⇒ 26 =2y

⇒ 13 = y        

So value of x = 3y                  

Putting value of y, we get                  

⇒ x = 3 × 13

⇒ x = 39                  

Hence, the numbers are 13 and 39.

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 13 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Lat one number be x

ATP

3x-x=26

=>2x=26

=>x=26/2

x=13

x*3=39
