Question

13 Two numbers are in the ratio 8: 7. Their sum is 60. Find the two numbers.​

Answer 1

‌$\huge \overline{ \underline{\mid \color{red} \tt Answer \color{black}\mid}}$

$\mathtt{Let \: the \: numbers \: be \: :}$

$\circ$ $\mathtt{8x}$

$\circ$ $\mathtt{7x}$

‌${\underline{\underline{\boxed{\sf{8x \: + \: 7x \: = \: 60}}}}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\mathtt{8x \: + \: 7x \: = \: 60}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\mathtt{15x \: = \: 60}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\mathtt{x \: = \: 60 \: ÷ \: 15}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\mathtt{x \: = \: 4}$

$\mathtt{Let \: the \: numbers \: be \: :}$

$\circ$ $\mathtt{8x \: = \: 32}$

$\circ$ $\mathtt{7x \: = \: 28}$

$\mathbb{ BE \: \: BRAINLY }$ $\boxed\checkmark$

Answer 2

$\huge\colorbox{cyan}{AnSwEr}$

Let, the number be x.

So, the two numbers are 8x and 7x.

$\large\mapsto\tt\blue{ According \: to \: the \: question,}$

$\large\mapsto\colorbox{red}{ 8x \: + 7x \: = \: 60}$

$\large\mapsto{\green{\cal{ 15x \: = \: 60}}}$

$\large\mapsto\tt\orange{ x \: = \frac{60}{15} }$

$\large\mapsto\tt\fbox\pink{ x = 4}$

HENCE, the numbers are

$\longrightarrow\sf\red{ 8x = 8(4) = 32} \\ \\ \longrightarrow\bf\blue{ 7x = 7(4) = 28}$
