Answer:
16 and 48
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 integers be x and 3x ← ratio 1 : 3
Then
3x - x = 32 ← difference between the integers
2x = 32 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 16
and 3x = 3 × 16 = 48
Since magnitude of difference is 32
We can also express the difference as
x - 3x = 32
- 2x = 32 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 16
and 3x = 3 × - 16 = - 48
The 2 integers are 16 and 48 or - 16 and - 48
Answer:
-16,-48
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the integers be x and y.
The difference between two integers is 32.
So,
x-y=32 ......(1)
Also,The ratio of these integers is 1:3.
So,
x/y=1/3 .......(2)
Using .....(2),-16-y
3x=y
Substituting the value of y in .....(1) we get,
x-3x=32
or,-2x=32
or,x=-16
Now using the value of y in .....(1),
-16-y=32
or,y=-16-32=-48
