Answer 1

Answer:

smaller number is 12

and larger no is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

60-3x =2x

x=12

Answer 2

Solution:-

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ANSWER:-

• The first number is = 12
• The another number is = 36

GIVEN:-

• One number is times another = 3 times
• Larger number to be subtracted from = 60
• Result times the smaller number = 2 times

TO FIND:-

• The numbers = ?

SOLVING STEP BY STEP:-

• Let one number be = x
• Let the another number be = 3x

According to the question:-

• The larger number is = 60 - 3x
• The smaller number is = 2x
• 60 - 3x = 2x
• 60 = 2x + 3x
• 60 = 5x
• x = 60/5
• x = 60/5 = 12
• x = 12

Hence, the first number is 12.

›»› The another number will be 12 × 3

›»› Another number = 12 × 3

›»› Another number = 12 × 3 = 36

Hence, the another number is 36.
