Question 430850: Find two positive integers that satisfy the given requirements.
The difference of the numbers is 50 and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the numbers be x & y
x-y=50
x=3y
substitute the value of x in first equation
3y-y=50
2y=50
y=25
so x = 75
