Question

the sum of two nos is 51. if the larger is doubled and the smaller is triple, the difference is 12. find the nos​

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -90 & x=+141

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=51

2x+3y=12

solve the two eq. simultaneously ...

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger no. be x so smaller no.will be 51-x

a cording to question whenthe larger no.is doubled that is 2x and when the smaller no. is trebled that is 153-3x then their difference is 12 so,

2x-(153-3x)=12

,2x -153+3x =12

,5x-153=12

,5x=12+153

,5x =165

,x=165/5

,x=33

so larger no. is 33

then smaller no. 51- x =51-33=18
