Answer»
Let,
According to the first condition, ⇛ x+x+y = 30 ⇛ 2x+y = 30...........(i) According to second condition, ⇛ x = y + 3 ⇛ x - y = 3............(ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii) 2X + x - ⇛ 3x = 33 ⇛ x = 11 By substituting the VALUE of x = 11 in equation (i) ⇛ 2x + y = 30 ⇛ 2(11) + y = 30 ⇛ 22 + y = 30 ⇛ y = 8 |
