Question

Solve and find the numbers, if the difference between two numbers is 26 and one
number is three times the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first no. be x

the second no. be y

the difference between two numbers is 26

x-y = 26                              .......................(1)

one  number is three times the other

x=3y                                  ........................(2)

Putting equation (2) in (1)

3y -y =26

2y = 26

y = 13

putting the value of y in equation (2)

x=3*13

x=39

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

HLW MATE HERE IS YOUR CORRECT ANSWER.....

Let the numbers be 'x' and 'y'

x=3y ----------------------(1)

x-y=26 -------------------(2)

SUBSTITUTE eq(1) in eq (2)

x-y=26

3y-y=26

2y=26

y=26/2

y=13

SUBSTITUTE y=13 in eq (1)

x=3y

= 3*13

=39

✓ THE NUMBERS ARE 13 AND 39
