Answer 1

sol:

Let the common multiple be x. THEREFORE, two numbers 7x and 3x.

According to the condition,

7x - 3x = 48

4x = 48

x = 48÷4

x = 12

Now , Two numbers 7x = 7×12 = 84 and 3x = 3×12 = 36 .

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no. be x

$7x \: - 3x = 48$

$4x = 48$

$x = \: \frac{48}{4}$

$x = 12$

$7x \: = 7 \times 12 \: = 84$

$3x \: = 3 \times 12 = 36$

* two numbers are :84 and 36
