--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Just taking this part: difference of two numbers is 50, where one number is three times the other...



x, smaller number
y, larger number
{{{system(y-x=50,y=3x)}}}, two equations, two unknown variables


{{{3x-x=50}}}
{{{2x=50}}}
{{{x=25}}}
{{{y=75}}}
-
The numbers should be  25 and 75.







-----------------
Product is minimum?
{{{3x*x=p}}}
{{{3x^2=p}}}
?
