Answer 1

Answer:

55 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The two numbers be 2x and 5x

A/Q

Difference of that two numbers is 33.

.°. 5x - 2x = 33

=> 3x = 33

=> x=  33÷3 = 11

Hence,

First number = 5x

= 5 × 11

= 55

Again,

Second number = 2x

= 2 × 11

= 22

∴ The two numbers are 55 and 22.

(55-22 = 33)
