Question

Two number differ by 3. The sum of twice the smaller number and thrice the greater number is 9. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the larger no. be x and smaller one be y.

ATQ,

x-y = 3

x= 3+y...(1)

Now,

2y + 3x =19...(2)

Substituting (1) in (2),

2y + 3(y+3) = 19

2y +3y =10

5y =10

y = 2 - the smaller number

x = 3+y = 5 - larger number
