Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given :-

The difference between the two numbers is 26.

One number is 3 times the other

To Find :-

The Numbers.

Solution :-

Let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y.

According to the Question

1st Equation

x – y = 26 ………….(i)  

2nd Equation

x = 3y …………(ii)  

Putting x value in Eq (i)

⇒ x – y = 26

⇒ 3y – y = 26  

⇒ 2y = 26  

⇒ y = 26/2

⇒ y = 13  

Putting y value in Eq (i)

⇒ x – y = 26  

⇒ x – 13 = 26  

⇒ x = 26 + 13

⇒ x = 39  

Hence, the required numbers are 39 and 13.

Answer 2

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
