The sum of two numbers is 3 times their difference If the larger number is 6 more than the smaller number what is the larger number?

Answer 1

ya i will solve this question by taking assumptions

if we observe the question easily identified the larger number is greater than smaller number by 6

and one thing is the sum of two numbers is 3 times their difference

from this information we clearly says sum is divided by 3

so if we take smaller number 1 larger number 7(add 6)

(1+6)=3(5)

and now smaller number 2 larger number 8

(2+8)=3(6)

take smaller number 6 larger number 12 this is the correct answer

6+12=3(6)
