Question

twice of one number added to 3 times another number gives 2.Find the number if the difference between them is 3.

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Let one number be x
The difference between two numbers is 3
So,
other number = x + 3

Also,
twice of one number added to 3 times another number gives 2

So,
the following balanced equation will be formed

2x + 3(x + 3) = 2

2x + 3x + 9 = 2

5x = 2 - 9

5x = -7

x = -7/5


Thus,
the number is -7/5
