Question

The sum of two numbers is 30. If three times the smaller number is equal to two times the bigger one, find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

• Let the smaller number be x and the bigger number be y.
• Therefore, 3x = 2y $= > x = \frac{2y}{3}$$x + y = 30 \\ = > \frac{2y}{3} + y = 30 \\ = > \frac{2y + 3y}{3} = 30 \\ = > \frac{5y}{3} = 30 \\ = > y = \frac{30 \times 3}{5} \\ = > y = 18$
• Therefore, the smaller number = 30 - 18 = 12
