$\huge\red{A}\pink{N}\orange{S}\green{W}\blue{E}\purple{R}$

let the difference be 5x-8x

let the numbers be 5x and 8x

according to the question ,

5x+8x=200+(5x-8x)

12x=200+(-3x)

12x+3x=200

15x=200

x= 200÷15

x= 40/3

therefore the numbers are ,

5x= 5×40/3=200/3

8x=320/3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

--------------------------------

➡️let the difference be 5x-8x

➡️let the numbers be 5x and 8x

➡️according to the question ,

• 5x+8x=200+(5x-8x)

• 12x=200+(-3x)

• 12x+3x=200

• 15x=200

• x= 200÷15

• x= 40/3

therefore the numbers are ,

• 5x= 5×40/3=200/3

• 8x=320/3

hope this helps you ☺️
