Question

The difference between two numbers is 108 less than their sum.If the larger number is twice the smaller number,find the difference between the two numbers.

Answer 1

x-y+108= x+y
x= 2y

2y-y+108 = 2y+y
Y+108= 3y
108= 2y
Y= 54
X= 108

Answer 2

2y-y+108=2y+y
y+108=3y
108=3y-y
108=2y
y=108/2
y=54
x=2y
x=2X54
x=108

Answer 3

The sum of two numbers is 108 And their difference is 54 what will be the quotient of large number and smaller number?
