Answer 1

$\large \tt AHOY!! \:$

ATQ, the difference between two numbers is 26 and one of the number is three times the other.

we have to find the numbers.

let the numbers be y and x.

therefore y - x = 26 …(1)

one of the number is 3 times the other one.

obviously the greater one will be 3 times the other one.

so 'y' can be written as 3x. …(2)

by (1) and (2) we get,

=> 3x - x = 26

=> 2x = 26

=> x = 26/2

=> x = 13

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
