\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the numbers are x and y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One is thrice the other\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=3y…………….(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=124 ……….(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "put the value of x in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "3y+y=124
\n" ); document.write( "4y=124
\n" ); document.write( "4y/4=124/4 (divide by 4 both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "y=31\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now put the value of y in (1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=3y
\n" ); document.write( "x=3(31)
\n" ); document.write( "x=93\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the numbers are 31,93
