Answer 2

the given

let the first number =X

and second number = Y

$x - y = 20 \: equation1\\ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 3y = 5x \\ y = \frac{5x}{3} put \: on \: equation \: 1 \\ x - \frac{5x}{3} = 20 \\ \frac{3x - 5x}{3} = 20 \\ - 2x = 60 \\ x = \frac{ - 60}{2} \\ (x = - 30) \\ y = \frac{5x}{3} \\ y = \frac{5 \times - 30}{3} \\ y = \frac{ - 150}{3} \\ y = - 50answer$
