Question

solve the following problems.

The sum of two numbers is 60
The greater number is 8 more
than thrice the smallest number
Find the numbers .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two nos. be X and y(X>Y)

X+Y=60

So,X=8+3*Y

By substituting values

8+3Y+Y=60

8+4Y=60

4Y=52

so,Y=13 andX=47.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose 2 numbers as x & y

therefore,

X+y=60

suppose x is greater than y

therefore,

X=3y+8

put this in X+y=60

3y+8+y=60

therefore

4y=60-8

4y=52

y=13

put in X=3y+8

X=47
