Question

The equation of ‘One number is thrice the other number and their sum is 24’ is​

Answer 1

Answer:

let that number be x.

Step-by-step explanation:

then according to your question x+3x=24 ( because one number is 3 times of first number)

Answer 2

Given:

✰ One number is thrice the other number and their sum is 24.

To form:

✠ An equation.

Solution:

First we will assume the other number as x and we know one number is thrice other number that means 3 will be multiplied by x or 3 times x i.e, 3 × x = 3x. Then, we know the sum of this number is 24. Like this we will form an adequate equations. We can also find the numbers by doing the required calculations. Finding the value of x and then substituting the value of x in the respective numbers to find both the numbers.

Let's form an equation...✧

Let the other number be x,

Let the other number be x,Then the one number = 3x

According to the question,

➛ x + 3x = 24

∴ The required equation = x + 3x = 24

We can solve this equation to find out both the numbers.

➛ 4x = 24

➛ 4x = 24/4

➛ x = 6

∴ The other number = 6

➛ One number = 3 × 6

➛ One number = 18
