Answer 1

Answer:

bigger number is 13 and smaller number is 8...

Step-by-step explanation:

A/C to question..,

x-y=8...where x>y

and also.., x+2=3y

on solving both the equations simultaniuosly..,

we get x=13 and y=8..

Answer 2

Given, x - y = 8

or, x = 8 + y ......(i)

2 + x = 3y

or, x = 3y - 2 ......(ii)

Combining both the equations, we get;

8 + y = 3y - 2

or, 2y = 10

or, y = 5

Then, x = 8+5 = 13
