Question

write a pair of integers whose quotient on division is-3 and difference between them is 14​

Answer 1

Answer:

7 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two integers be x and y

Given that,

$x/y = 3$

∴ $x = 3y$

From this, we know x is greater than y

$x-y=14$

$3y-y=14$ [Substituting x = 3y]

$2y = 14$

$y = 7$

$x = 3(7)$

$x=21$

Answer 2

Answer:

First number =10.5

Second number = - 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the two interger as x and y

by the problem,

x/y = - 3 and x- y =14

or,x=-3y and - 3 y -y =14

or -4y =14

or, y=( -14 /4)

or, y = - 7/2 = -3.5

there for the first number (x) =-3y =-3.5

=10.5

the second number y =3.5

verification : x-y =14

14 = 14 hence proved

x/y =-3

or, -3 =-3 hence proved
