Question

) The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other.
Find them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 13 and x = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

so, let one number be x and other number be y.

so, our first equation is,

                                   x-y = 26 -(i)

                x = y

               x = 3y

             x - 3y = 0 -(ii)

from eqn (i) and (ii) we do elimination process

x - y = 26

x - 3y = 0

(-)  (+)        (-)

0  + 2y =26

y = 26/2

y =13

from eqn (ii)

x - 3y = 0

x = 3ˣ13

x=39

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

HLW MATE HERE IS YOUR CORRECT ANSWER.....

Let the numbers be 'x' and 'y'

x=3y ----------------------(1)

x-y=26 -------------------(2)

SUBSTITUTE eq(1) in eq (2)

x-y=26

3y-y=26

2y=26

y=26/2

y=13

SUBSTITUTE y=13 in eq (1)

x=3y

= 3*13

=39

✓ THE NUMBERS ARE 13 AND 39
