Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number originally be "x".

Then, According to the question,other number is 3 times [3*] greater as other.

  • 3*x = 3x

Sum of these two numbers is 24.

ATP, equation'll be :

  • [tex]x + 3x = 24[/tex]

Solving:

  • [tex]4x = 24[/tex]
  • [tex]x = \cfrac{24}{4} [/tex]
  • [tex]x = 6[/tex]

Therefore,one number[x] is 6.

Other number :

  • 3 × x = 3 × 6 = 18
