the difference between the two positive integers is 50 and the ratio of these integers is 1:3 find these integers
The difference between two positive integers is 50. The ratio of these integers is 1:3. What are these integers?
x - y = 50 and x/y = 3/1 (x must be > y in order to get a positive sum.)
x/y = 3/1
cross multiply to get
x = 3y
In x - y =50 replace x with 3y
3y - y = 50
Combine like terms
2y = 50
Divide both sides by 2
y = 25
In x - y = 50 Replace y with 25.
x - 25 = 50
Add 25 to both sides
x = 75
Check:
75-25=50
75/25= 3/1
These integers are 75 and 25.

Since the ratio of the two integers is 1:3, then,
We let x and 3x be the integers.
To determine the integers, we get the difference of the two integers which is 50.
thus,
3x - x = 50
2x = 50
x = 25.
Substituting x by 25 from the the two integers x and 3x.
x = 25 and:
3x = 3(25) = 75
Therefore, the integers are 25 and 75
Let the numbers be x and y.
x/y=1/3 (because the ratio of these integers is 1:3)
This implies that 3x=y
The difference the numbers
y-x(because y is the larger number)=50
Since y=3x
y-x=3x-x=2x
But y-x is equal to 50
This means 2x=50
x=25
y=3x=3*25=75
The numbers are 75 and 25
Let X and Y be the two numbers and Y be greater than X.
The difference of the Integers is
Y - X = 50 => Y = X + 50 -> Equation 1
The ratio of the Integers is ,
X/Y = 1/3 => 3X = Y -> Equation 2
Substituting the value of Y in Equation 2,
3X = X + 50
2X = 50
X =25
Substituting the value of X in Equation 2
Y - 25 = 50
Y = 75

⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
☯ Let the first positive integer be x.
☯ And, the second positive integer be 3x.
Therefore,
- First positive integer, x = 25
- Second positive integer, 3x = 3 × 25 = 75
⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Integers are defined as a number that can be written without a fractional component.
⠀⠀⠀
- For example, 2, 5, 0, and −1086 are integers, while 9.75 and √5 are not.
