Question

The larger of two numbers is 15 more than three times the smaller number. If the sum of the two

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

Greater number = 3x + 15

3x + 15 + x = 63

4x + 15 = 63

4x = 63 - 15

4x = 48

x = 48/4

x = 12

Greater number = 3(12) + 15 = 51

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution,

Let the smaller number be y, then

bigger number=3y+15

Now,

According to question

3y+15+y=63

4y+15=63

4y=63-15

4y=48

y=48/4

y=12

Hence,

smaller number=y=12

greater number=3y+15=3×12+15=51
