Question

The difference between two numbers is 32 and one number is three times the other find the numbers

Answer 1

EXPLANATION.

• GIVEN

The difference between two number = 32

one of them is three times the other

TO FIND THE NUMBER.

difference between two number = 32

x - y = 32 ....(1)

one number is three times other

x = 3y ....(2)

from equation (1) and (2)

put the value of x = 3y in equation (1)

we get,

3y - y = 32

2y = 32

y = 16

put the value of y = 16 in equation ( 2)

we get,

x = 3(16)

x = 48

Therefore,

The number are = 16 and 48

Answer 2

Hi there!

Your Answer :-

$\huge\bigstar\red{GIVEN}$

Difference of two numbers = 32.

One Number = 3 (Other Number).

$\huge\bigstar\red{SOLUTION}$

Let one number be x and another y.

So,

According to the Question,

x - y = 32.

x = 3y.

So,

The Equation Formed :-

$\sf\pink{3y - y = 32}$

$\sf\blue{2y = 32}$

$\sf\purple{y = 16}$

So, We Got the Second Number.

First Number :-

$\sf\gray{x = 3y}$

We Have The Value Of Y, So Put its value.

$\sf\purple{x = 3(16)}$

$\sf\orange{x = 48}$

So, The Numbers Are :- 48 and 16.
