Answer 2

21 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, one of the number will be obviously larger than the other one.

Let the larger number be x and smaller number be y.

Difference of x and y is 14

Hence,

→ x - y = 14 ..[1]

The quotient when x is divided by y is 3

Hence,

$\dashrightarrow\rm\dfrac{x}{y} = 3$

Or,

→ x = 3y ..[2]

Substituting the value of x in [1]

x - y = 14

→ 3y - y = 14

→ 2y = 14

→ y = 14/2

→ y = 7

Substituting the value of y in [2]

→ x = 3y

→ x = 3(7)

→ x = 21

Hence, the numbers are 21 and 7.
