Answer:    x = 108    ;     y = 36


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

x - y = 72

x/y = 3    => x = 3y        ...1

Given,

x - y = 72                

=>  3y - y = 72           (from 1)

=> 2y = 72  

=>  y = 72/2 = 36        

Given,

x - y = 72

=> x - 36 = 72

=> x = 72 + 36

=> x = 108
