Question

two number differ by 3 the sum of twice the smaller number and thrice the greater number is 19. find the number​

Answer 1

let first number be x

thwn second number =x-3

2(x-3)+3x=19

2x-6+3x=19

5x=19+6

x=25/5=5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,the first number be X.

and ,the second no. be X-3

so,it is said that ,two no. differ by 3.and

twice the smallest no. 2(x-3)

and,thrice the greatest no.3*x

ATQ:

2(x-3)+3x=19

2x-6+3x=19

5x=19 +6

x= 25/5

x=5.

Hence ,the value of x =5

verification; given that two no. differ by 3

so, 1st no. is x=5

2nd no. is x-3=5-3=2

and the difference between two is 5-2=3(verified).ANS.....
