Question

the sum of two numbers is 30 the difference between three times the first number and twice the second is 60

Answer 1

Let the first no. be 2x

second no. =x

third no. =2x/3

A/Q

2x+x+2x/3=132

11x/3=132

x=36.

Hence the second no. is 36

Answer 2

let the first number be x

then second number=30-x

3x-2(30-x)=60

3x-60+2x=60

x=60+60

x=120
