one number is three times another number if the larger number is subtracted from 60 the result is 5 less than the smaller number subtracted from 55 find the two numbers

Answer» LET the first number be a

Second number = 3a

According to question,

60 - 3a = ( 55 - a) - 5

=> 60 - 3a = 55 - a - 5

=> 60 - 3a = 50 - a

=> 60 - 50 = 3a - a

=> 2a = 10

=> a = 5

First number = 5

Second number = 15
