Solution: Let x + y = 300, where x and y are two (parts)numbers \n" ); document.write( "Given, x - y/2 = 48 \n" ); document.write( "=> x = 48 + y/2 \n" ); document.write( "Hence, 48 + y/2 + y = 300 \n" ); document.write( "3y/2 = 252 \n" ); document.write( "y = 2 X 252 / 3 = 504 / 3 = 168 \n" ); document.write( "x = 300 - 168 = 132 \n" ); document.write( "Hence, the two parts (numbers)are 132 and 168. \n" ); document.write( " |
