Answer 1

Let the smaller number be denoted by the variable x.
Then it is given that the sum of x and 3x is equal to 88.
We can find the numbers by solving the equation to find the value of the variable x.

x+3x=88.
4x=88.
x=88/4.
x=22.
3x=3(22)=66.

Therefore the number is 22 and 3 times 22 is 66.
