Question

find two numbers whose ratio is 7:5 and their difference is 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first number is 42

The second number is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x/y=7/5

5x=7y

It is given that x-y=12

x=12+y

Therefore,

5(12+y)=7y

60+5y=7y

2y=60

y=30

x=12+30

x=42
