Two numbers differ by 3.The sum of twice the smaller and thrice the greater number is 19. find the numbers
Answers
Answer:
The required numbers are 5 and 2.
Step-by-step-explanation:
Let the greater number be x.
And the smaller number be y.
From the first condition,
... ( 1 )
Thrice the greater number = 3 × x = 3x
Twice the smaller number = 2 × y = 2y.
From the second condition,
.... ( 2 )
Multiplying equation ( 1 ) by 2,
... ( 3 )
Adding equations ( 2 ) and ( 3 ),
3x + 2y = 19 ... ( 2 )
+ 2x - 2y = 6 ... ( 3 )
____________
5x = 25
Substituting x = 5 in equation ( 1 ),
x - y = 3
5 - y = 3
- y = 3 - 5
- y = - 2
Ans.: The required numbers are 5 and 2.
Verification:
From the first condition,
x - y = 3
LHS = 5 - 2
LHS = 3
RHS = 3
Now, from second condition,
3x + 2y = 19
LHS = ( 3 × 5 ) + ( 2 × 2 )
LHS = 15 + 4
LHS = 19
RHS = 19
Hence verified!
