Question

the larger of two numbers is 15 more than three times the smaller number. if the sum of the two numbers is 63, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger number is 51 and the smaller number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the larger number

y ----> the smaller number

we know that

the larger of two numbers is 15 more than three times the smaller number

$x=3y+15$ -----> equation A

the sum of the two numbers is 63

$x+y=63$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

$3y+15+y=63$

$4y+15=63$

$4y=63-15$

$4y=48$

$y=12$

Find the value of x

$x=3y+15$ ----> $x=3(12)+15=51$

therefore

The larger number is 51 and the smaller number is 12
