Answer 1

ANSWER :

_________________________

Let the ages = 5x and 6x

ATQ,

= 5x + 6x = 55

= 11x = 55

= x = 55 / 11

= x = 5

Numbers

5x = 5 × 5 = 25

6x = 6 × 5 = 30

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x:y=5:6

x+y=55

x/y=5/6

6x=5y

x=5/6y

substitute the value of x in the eq.

5/6y+y=55

y(5/6+1)=55

y(11/6)=55

y=55*6/11

y=5*6

y=30

x+y=55

x+30=55

x=55-30

x=25

one age is. 25 &other is 30 & their ratio is

6x=5y

6*25=5*30

150=150 hence proved its correct
