Question

Ravi and Reema are playing a number puzzle, Ravi asks Reema, to find two numbers such that, when 8 is

subtracted from the second number, it will be thrice the first number, and if 10 is added to the second

number it will be negative of thrice the first number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first number is -3, second number is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be X,y.

Given:

1) when 8 is subtracted from the second number, it will be thrice the first number.

this means, y-8 = 3x.

2) 10 is added to the second number it will be negative of thrice the first number.

this means, y+10 = -3x

from 1,2 ====> y-8 = -(y+10)

y-8+y+10=0

2y = -2

y = -1

now substitute this in 1,

-1-8 = 3x

X = -9/3

X = -3
