Question

the difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other find them by using elimination method ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x and y.

acc. to question

x-y=26... (i)

also, x=3y

x-3y=0... (ii)

subtracting (ii) from (i) , we get

x-y=26

x-3y=0

(-) (+) =(-)

2y=26

y=26/2

y=13..... put in (i) i.e.,

x-y=26

x-13=26

x=26+13

x=39

therefore, x=39

y=13
