Question

The differene between two numbers is 26 and other three times the other. Find them

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no.s be x and 3x

according to the question,

3x - x = 26

2x = 26

x = 26/2

x= 13

So , x = 13

      3x = 39

Answer 2

Answer:

let two numbers be x and y .

given : x- y= 26.......................(1)

x=3y...........................(2)

therefore: putting value of x from (2) in (1)

3y-y =26

2y=26

y=13

and : substituting value of y in (2)

therefore : x=3y

x=3(13)

x=39
