Question

the sum of two number is 60 the greater no. is more by 8 than thrice the smaller no.then find the no.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let smaller no be x.

Therefore

(8+x)+3x=60

8+4x=60

4x=52

x=13

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x and another number be y

now condition(1)

x + y = 60

condition(2)

let the greater number be y

y = 3x + 8

3x - y = -8

now solve 1 and 2

x + y = 60

3x - y = -8

(-)

----------------------

4x = 52

x = 13

now suc in (2)

y = 3 x 13 + 8

y = 39 +8

y = 47
