Question

the sum of two number is 60 and 3 times the smaller number is 12 more than the other find the numbers​

Answer 1

Let's assume the numbers to be x and y(x>y)

B/C

x + y = 60

or x = 60 - y .....(i)

Again,

3y - x = 12

or 3y - (60 - y) = 12 {from equation (i)}

or 3y - 60 + y =12

or 2y = 12 + 60

or y = 72/2

or y = 36

Putting the value of y in equation (i)

x = 60 - y

or x = 60 - 36

or x = 24

So, the two numbers are 24, 36
