Question

the difference b/w two numbers is 26 and one number is 3 times the other number. find the numbers

Answer 1

let one no be x.
then other will be 3x.
Acc to ques.
3x-x=26
2x=26
x=26/2
x=13
So, 3x=3×13=39
therefore, the two numbers are 13 and 39

Answer 2

hello friend!

given that, the difference between the two numbers = 26
so, let one number be x
one number is 3 times the other ( given).
therefore the number formed is 3x.

so, Acc to the question,
3x - x = 26
2x=26
x=26/2
x=13

∴ One number = x = 13
∴ other number = 3x = 3 x 13 = 39

hope it helps!
