Find two possitive numbers in the ratio 2:5 such that their difference is 15

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be 2x and 5x respectively.

acc to the question, their difference is 15

which means,

5x-2x=15

3x=15

x=15/3=5

since x=5,

the numbers are 2*5=10 and 5*5=25 respectively.
