The difference between two natural numbers is 39. If the larger number is divided by the smaller one, then the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 11. The smaller number =
------------------------------------------- Define x and y : ------------------------------------------- Let one number be x and the other number will be x + 39
------------------------------------------- Construct equation : ------------------------------------------- When the big number divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 3 with 11 remaining ⇒ [tex] \dfrac{x + 39 - 11}{x} = 3[/tex]
