Question

The difference between two natural numbers is 6, adding 10 to twice of the larger number we get 2 less then 3 times of the smaller number. Find these numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

larger no. = 30

smaller no. = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The difference between two natural number = 6

Let larger number be x and smaller one be y respectively.

According to question:

2x + 10 = 3y -2

and x - y = 6

From given point: x = y+6

On putting value of x in second point

Then,

2(y+6) + 10 = 3y - 2

= 2y + 12 + 10 = 3y - 2

= 2y + 22 = 3y - 2

= y = 24

And, x = 30
