Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be X and the other number be y (smaller number)

1st equation

x - y = 26........(1)

2nd equation

x = 3y.......(2)

Putting the value of X in eq. no 1

x-y = 26

$= > 3y - y = 26 \\ = > 2y = 26 \\ = > y = 26 \div 2 \\ = > y = 13$

Putting the value of y in eq. 1

x-y =26

$= > x - y = 26 \\ = > x - 13 = 26 \\ = > x = 26 + 13 \\ = > x = 39$
