Given:
- Difference between two numbers is 24
- One number is three times the other.
To find:
The values of the two numbers.
Solution:
Let the two numbers be x and y respectively.
It is given that,
x - y = 24.... (1)
x = 3y ....(2)
Now, let's put the value of x in terms of y from equation 2 in equation 1,
3y - y = 24
2y = 24
y =
y = 12
Hence the value of y is 12.
Now, lets put the value of y in equation 2,
x = 3(12)
x = 36
Hence, the value of x is 36.
We found the value of x as 36 and that of y as 12.
