So:

x + y = 64, and if x > y then:
3x = 5y, or 3x - 5y = 0

Solving this by multiplying the first equation by -3 and then adding the two equations together:

x = 40, y = 24.

let two be x and y.
then, x+y=64 ---------------- ( 1 )
and from question we get 3x=5y
or, 3x-5y=0 ---------- ( 2 )
from ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) solving we get the value of x and y 40 and 24

let the number be x
than the other number is 64-x

greater one = 64-x
smaller one = x

3(64-x) = 5x
192-3x = 5x
8x=192
x=24
so the numbers are 24 , 40

the greater and smaller numbers can be reversed , but u get the same numbers as 24 and 40.

Let the greater part be x and the other y
x + y = 64
3x=5y

Solving simultaneously, x= 40, y=24
