Answer 2

The numbers are 29 and 87.

Given - Difference

Find - Number

Solution - Let the numbers be x and y.

Forming first equation -

x - y = 58

Forming second equation -

x = 3y

Keep the value of x in first equation.

$3y - y = 58$

Performing subtraction

$2y = 58$

$y = \frac{58}{2}$

Performing division

y = 29

x = 58 + y

x = 58 + 29

x = 87

Hence, the numbers are 29 and 87.
