4x + 8 = 60

4x = 60 - 8

4x = 52

x = 52/4

x = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Sum of two numbers is 60.
• The greater number is 8 more than thrice the smaller number.

To Find :-

• What is the numbers.

Solution :-

Let,

➲ Smaller Number = x

◆ The greater number is 8 more than thrice the smaller number.

➲ Greater Number = 3x + 8

According to the question,

◆ Sum of two numbers is 60.

⇒ Smaller Number + Greater Number = 60

⇒ x + 3x + 8 = 60

⇒ 4x + 8 = 60

⇒ 4x = 60 - 8

⇒ 4x = 52

⇒ x = 52/4

⇒ x = 13/1

➦ x = 13

Hence, the required numbers are :

❒ Smaller Number :

↦ Smaller Number = x

↦ Smaller Number = 13

➠ Smaller Number = 13

❒ Greater Number :

↦ Greater Number = 3x + 8

↦ Greater Number = 3(13) + 8

↦ Greater Number = 3 × 13 + 8

↦ Greater Number = 39 + 8

➠ Greater Number = 47

∴ The numbers are 13 and 47.

★VERIFICATION ★

↦ x + 3x + 8 = 60

By putting x = 13 we get,

↦ 13 + 3(13) + 8 = 60

↦ 13 + 39 + 8 = 60

↦ 13 + 47 = 60

➠ 60 = 60

Hence, Verified.
