Question

10 IfX: Y= 4: 7 and the difference between X and Y is 12, what are the values of X and Y?​

Answer 1

Answer:

X= 16, Y= 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the values of x and y be 4x and 7x

Given, the difference between x and y is 12

therefore,

7x -4x =12

x = 4

then, value of x = 4x= 4×4=16

value of y = 7x= 7×4=28

therefore the values of x and y are 16 and 28.
