Answer:

197 and 63

Explanation:

Let the second part be x, then

the first part = 3x + 8 ( 8 more then 3 times the second part )

The 2 parts sum to 260

Add the 2 parts of the number and equate to 260, that is

3x + 8 + x = 260 ← simplify the left side

4x + 8 = 260 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

4x = 252 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 63

Hence the first part = 3x + 8 = (3 × 63) + 8 = 189 + 8 = 197

and the second part = x = 63
