QUESTION:
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO NUMBERS IS 26 AND ONE NUMBER IS THREE TIMES THE OTHER . FIND THEM​

Answer 1

Let two numbers be x & y

x−y=26 ____ (1)

x=3y ____ (2)

substituting (2) in (1) we get

3y−y−26

2y=26

y=13

x=3y from (2)

x=3×13

x=39

we need to find sum of two numbers

x+y=39+13

=52
