Question 33167
Let the two numbers be x and y
given:
x - y = 47
given one number is three times more than five times the other
so let x be that number
x = 3+5(y)
therfore here we have two equations
x - y = 47  which implies x = y+47
x - 5y = 3
47+y-5y = 3  (substituting the value of x)
4y = 44
y = 11
x = 58
