Find two numbers whose difference is three when the larger number is decreased by three times the smaller number the result is -11

The two numbers are 10 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two numbers whose difference is three, when the larger number is decreased by three times the smaller number the result is -11.

Now, find the two numbers.

Let the larger number be .

Let the smaller number be .

As given, the two numbers whose difference is three:

So, the value of .

According to question:

Putting the value of we get:

Moving variables on one side and the number on the other we get:

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

The smaller number = 7.

Now, putting the value of in the equation :

Adding both sides by 7 we get:

The larger number = 10.

Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 7.

answer: 21$

step-by-step explanation:

$42 / $14 = 3   (ratio 3: 1)

$7 x 3 = $21
