The difference between two positive integers and the ratio of this integers is 1:3 .find the intergers.
x - y = 50 and x/y = 3/1 (x must be > y in order to get a positive sum.)
x/y = 3/1
cross multiply to get
x = 3y
In x - y =50 replace x with 3y
3y - y = 50
Combine like terms
2y = 50
Divide both sides by 2
y = 25
In x - y = 50 Replace y with 25.
x - 25 = 50
Add 25 to both sides
x = 75
Check:
75-25=50
75/25= 3/1
These integers are 75 and 25.
