To return two 3-digit numbers whose sum is 3 times their difference, we can start by finding a suitable pair of numbers that satisfies the given condition. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can express the given condition as:
x + y = 3 * (x - y)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
4 * y = 2 * x
or,
y = 0.5 * x
We know that both x and y are 3-digit numbers. Therefore, x can take values in the range of 100 to 999, and y can take values in the range of 50 to 499. We can generate all possible pairs of x and y within these ranges, and check which pairs satisfy the given condition.
Here's a Python function to do this:
main.py215 chars8 lines
This function generates all possible values of x between 100 and 999, and checks if the corresponding value of y satisfies the given condition. If a pair of numbers is found that satisfies the condition, it is returned as a tuple of two integers. If no such pair is found, the function returns None.
Here's an example usage of the function:
main.py54 chars3 lines
This output indicates that the two 3-digit numbers whose sum is 3 times their difference are 750 and 375.
