Answer:

The two numbers are 90 and 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• The sum of two numbers is 120.
• One of the numbers is 3 times the other.

To find :-

• Two numbers.

Solution :-

Let the other number be x .

★ One of the numbers is 3 times the other.

Then the one number = 3x

★ The sum of two numbers is 120.

According to the question:-

3x + x = 120

=> 4x = 120

=> x = 120/4

=> x = 30

• The other number = 30

Then,

• The one number = 3×30 = 90

Therefore the two numbers are 90 and 30.
