Question

the product of 2 positive number is 243 and one of them is three times the other find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 27 ; y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two positive numbers be x and y.

x . y = 243 (equation 1)

Let x be the greater number.

x = 3 y (equation 2)

putting equation 2 in equation 1;

(3y) (y) = 243

3 (y)^2 = 243

y^2 = 243÷3

y^2 = 81

y = 9

putting value of y in equation 2;

x = 3 (9)

x = 27
