Answer:

The numbers are 16 and 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leg x be the first number, then the other number is 3x - 4.

So x + 3x - 4 = 60

4x = 60 + 4 = 64

x = 64/4

x = 16.

The other number is 3(16) - 4 = 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The sum is numbers 60.

Let one number be x then, the next number is 3x-4.

Now, according to the question,

x+3x-4 = 60

4x = 60+4

[tex]x = \frac{64}{4} [/tex]

x = 16.

And another number is 3×16-4.

= 44.
