numbers.
121​

Answer 1

Answer:

5x-2x =66

3x=66

X=66/3

x= 22

5x=5x22

110

2x=2*22

x=44

110:44

the two numbers are 110 and 44

Answer 2

Answer:

110, 44

Explanation:

let the two numbers be x and 66+x

(66+x)/x = 5/2

2(66+x) = 5x

132+2x=5x

132 = 5x-2x

3x = 132

x = 132/3

x = 44

therefore, the numbers are,

44 and 110 ( <-- 66+44)
