Answer:
leta/b=4/5 call this #1; then
(a+6)/(b+6)=13/16 call this #2
from #1 a/b=4/5 multiply each side by b
a=4b/5 now substitute into #2 we get:
(4b/5+6)/(b+6)=13/16
{(4b+30)/5}/(b+6)=13/16 multiply both sides by 5
(4b+30)/b+6)=13x5/16=65/16 multiply each side by 16
16(4b+30)/(b+6)=65
(64b+480)/(b+6)=65 multiply each side by (b+6)
64b+480= 65(b+6)
64b+480= 65b+390 now subtract 64b+390 from each side
90= b
since a=4b/5 =4x90/5 =72

Step-by-step explanation:
{ 4x +6 }/ { 5x +6 } = 5/6
24x +36 =25x + 30
x = 6
4x = 4× 6 = 24
5x = 5×6 = 30
