Question

The differences between due to members is 8 if 2 is added to the bigger number the result will be three times smaller number find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the biggest number be x and let the smaller number be y.

Then

X-y=8----------------( 1)

x+2=3y---------------(2)

by subsituition method

x=8+y [from 1]-------------(3)

putting the value of 1 in 2

8+y+2=3y

10=3y-y

10=2y

y=10/2=5

y= 5

putting the value of y in 3

x=5+4

x=13.
