Answer 2

Answer:

21, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 7x and 8x (according to the ratio given)

If 3 is added to both numbers,

$\frac{7x + 3}{8x + 3} = \frac{8}{9}$

$9 (7x + 3) = 8(8x + 3)$

$63x + 27 = 64x + 24$

$64x - 63x = 27 - 24$

$x = 3$

Hence the numbers will be

$7x = 7 \times 3 = 21 \: and \: 8x = 8 \times 3 = 24$
