Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the greater part = x

Smaller part = 105 - x

2*(greater part) = (3*smaller part) - 15

2*x = 3*(105 -x) - 15

Use distributive property

2x = 3*105 - 3*x - 15

2x = 315 - 3x - 15

2x = 300 - 3x

Add 3x to both sides

2x +3x = 300

5x = 300

Divide both sides by 5

x = 300/5

x =60

Smaller part = 105 - 60 = 45

Greater part = Rs. 60

Smaller part = Rs. 45
