The sum of two numbers is 48 one number is 3 times as large as the other what are the numbers

1 answer:

4 0

12 and 36

Suppose the numbers are, x and y.

So, x+y=48……(1)

And one number is 3 times as large as the other.

So , x=3y……….(2)

Now if put value of x from result (2) to result (1) then,

3y+y=48

So, y= 12

And So, x=3y=3(12)= 36

Can any negative integer be greater than a positive integer explain

Keith_Richards [23]

No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

$y < 0 < x$
