Let b>a

b+a=52 

b=52-a, we are also told that the larger number, b, is 3 times the smaller a:

b=3a, since b=b we can say:

3a=52-a 

4a=52

a=13, and since b=3a

b=39

So the numbers are 13 and 39

<span> Let x be the smaller number.
Then 3x is the larger number.
We also know that the smaller added to the larger is 52, or:
x + 3x = 52
4x =52
x = 13
Therefore the smaller is 13, the larger is 3(13)=39. </span>

The sum of three numbers is 3. The first number minus the second plus the third is -3. The first minus the third is 1 more than
Rus_ich [418]

<u>Answer:</u> The first number is 2, the second number is 3 and the third number is -2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the first number be 'x', the second number be 'y' and the third number be 'z'

The equations according to the question becomes:

⇒ x + y + z = 3              ....(1)

⇒ x - y + z = -3              ....(2)

⇒ x - z = 1 + y              ....(3)

Rearranging equation 3:

⇒ x - y = 1 + z                .....(4)

Putting in equation 2:

⇒ 1 + z + z = -3

⇒ 1 + 2z = -3

⇒ z = -2

Putting this value in equation 4 and equation 1, we get:

⇒ x - y = -1

⇒ x + y = 5

Cancelling 'y' by eliminiation method and equation becomes:

⇒ 2x = 4

⇒ x = 2

Putting value of 'x' and 'z' in equation 1:

⇒ 2 + y - 2 = 3

⇒ y = 3

Hence, the first number is 2, the second number is 3 and the third number is -2

Answer:

2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 4 by 2 you get 2. If you divided 6 by 2 you get 3. You can't get no more further than that so 2:3 is the simplest ratio.

Hope it helps! :)
