Question

a number is divided into two part such one part is 10 more than the other. If the parts are in ratio 5:3,find the number​

Answer 1

answer - first number = -25

second number = -15

Explanation:

let the one part of the number be x

then the other part will be x+10

they are in the ratio 5:3

so,x:x+10=5:3

3×x=5(x+10)

3x=5x+50

3x-5x=50

-2x=50

x=50/-2

x=-25. (first number)

x+10=-25+10

=-15. ( second number)
