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 numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bigger number = a = 13

Smaller number = b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bigger number = a

Smaller number = b

a-b = 8

a+2= 3b, a = 3b-2

3b-2-b = 8, 2b = 10 Thus b = 5

a-b = 8 Thus a = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

Let first no. be X

Therefore, other number= X + 8

A.C.Q:

X+10 = 3x

-2x= -10

X = 5

Hence, the two nos. are 5 and 13.
