Question:
how to find the answer forthe difference between twp numbers is 8 if 2 is added to the bigger number the result will be three time the smaller number find the number
Answer:
Let the first number = x
So, the second number = 8 + x
Given, if 2 is added to the bigger number the result will be three times the smaller number
=> 8 + 2 + x = 3x
=> 10 + x = 3x
=> 10 = 3x - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10/2
=> x = 5
So, the first number = 5
and the second number = 8 + 5 = 13
