Question

The difference of two numbers is 4. The larger number exceeds three times the smaller number by 2.Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller no. be x

so the larger no. is 3x+2

now the equation formed is

3x+2 - x = 4

2x+2 = 4

2x = 4-2

x = 2/2

X = 1

larger no. = 5

small no. = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

larger number =2

smallest number =1
