Question

The difference between two numbers is 8.If 2 is added to the bigger number the result will be three times the smaller number.Find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the bigger number be x

x+2=3*smaller no

x=3*smaller no -2

x+smaller no =8

let the smaller no be y

3*y-2 +y=8

2*y+y=8-2=6

3y=6

y=6/3=2

x+y=8

x=8-y

x=8-2

x=6

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bf let \: the \: bigger \: </h2><h2>number \: be \: x$

$\bf difference \: between </h2><h2>\: 2 \: numbers \: = 8$

$\bf smaller \: number \: = x - 8$

$\bf ⇒x + 2 = 3(x - 8)$

$\bf ⇒x + 2 = 3x - 24$

$\bf ⇒2 + 24 = 3x - x$

$\bf ⇒26 = 2 x$

$\bf ⇒\frac{26}{2} = x$

$⇒x = 13$

$\therefore therefore$

$\bf⇒ bigger \: number \: = 13$

$\bf ⇒smaller \: number = 13 - 8$

$\bf ⇒smaller \: number \: = 5$
