just translate to Math
let the smaller be x
let the larger by y
clearly : x+y 120
"that thrice the smaller one is equal to twice the larger one"
---> 3x = 2y
from the first:
y = 120-x
into the 2nd:
3x = 2(120-x)
3x = 240 - 2x
5x = 240
x = 48
smaller is 48, the larger is 72
OR
from "that thrice the smaller one is equal to twice the larger one" , we can see that they would be in the ratio of 2:3 or 2a:3a
2a+3a=120
a = 24
so 2a is 48
and 3a is 72
