Difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Hence, the numbers are 13 and 39.

Answer 2

Given :-

• The difference between two number is 26.

• One number is three times the other.

To Find :-

• What are the numbers?

Solution :-

Let the two numbers be a and b.

As per question :

Given that,

The difference between two number is 26.

Therefore,

b - a = 26............... eq(1)

Again, it’s given that

One number is three times the other.

Hence,

b = 3a............ eq(2)

Substituting the value of b in equation (1)

⟼ 3a - a = 26

⟼ 2a = 26

⟼ a = 13

Now, put the value of a in eq(2)

b = 3a

⟼ b = 3 × 13

⟼ b = 39

Hence, the two numbers are 13 and 39.
