Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The difference between the two numbers is 26.

One number is 3 times the other

To Find :-

The Numbers.

Solution :-

Let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y.

According to the Question

1st Equation

x –y = 26 ………….(i)  

2nd Equation

x = 3y …………(ii)  

Putting x value in Eq (i)

⇒ x –y = 26

⇒ 3y –y = 26  

⇒ 2y = 26  

⇒ y = 26/2

⇒ y = 13  

Putting y value in Eq (i)

⇒ x –y = 26  

⇒ x – 13 = 26  

⇒ x = 26 + 13

⇒ x = 39  

Hence, the required numbers are 39 and 13.
