Answer 1

Hola

Here is your answer


It's given that difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is thrice the other.

Referring to this statement we can make an equation ⬇️⬇️

Let one number be x and other be 3x

therefore, 3x - x = 26 ---- equation

2x = 26

x = 26/2

x = 13

thus, the numbers are

13 and 3(13)=39

verify if we are right ..

39 - 13 = 26

Hope it helps !

The numbers are x and 3x
