You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two numbers, a & B
:
"The difference between the two numbers is equal to the double of the smaller number."
a - b = 2b
a = 2b + b
a = 3b
:
"If the quotient dividing one by the other is 3," = 3
:
find the numbers.
Replace a with 3b = 3
:
All we can say about this a = 3 times b, Any numbers with this relationship will work
