Answer 1

Answer:

13,39

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 1e no be x, so the 2nd no is 3x. .

A/q

3x - x =26

2x =26

x = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

The number be 39 , 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The difference between two numbers is 26

Let The two number be x , y

A/Q  x - y = 26             .........1

Again

one number is three times the other.

x = 3 y                 .......2

from eq 1 and eq 2

∵  x - y = 26

So, 3 y - y = 26

or, 2 y = 26

∴    y = $\dfrac{26}{2}$

i.e  y = 13

Put the value of y in eq 2

x = 3 y

or,x = 3 × 13

i.e  x = 39

So, The number be x , y = 39 , 13

Hence, The number be 39 , 13  Answer
