Question

the sum of two numbers is 64. If one number is 3 times the other then find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

sum is 64

one no 3

let other no x

3 +x=64

x=64-3

x=61

so the ans is 61

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small number be x, then the larger number be 64 - x.

According to the question,

larger number is equal to 3 times the smaller one.

64 - x = 3x

64 = 3x + x

64 = 4x

64 / 4 = x

12 = x

x = 16

Therefore the numbers are x, and 64-x

Therefore the numbers are 16 and 48.
