Answer 1

Hi ,

x , ( 150 - x ) are two given numbers ,

x = 9 ( 150 - x )

x = 1350 - 9x

x + 9x = 1350

10x = 1350

x = 1350/10

x = 135

Therefore ,

Required two numbers are ,

x = 135 ,

150 - x = 150 - 135 = 15

Answer 2

Two numbers are,
• x
• 150 - x

===============
ATQ,

x = 9(150 - x)

=> x = 1350 - 9x

=> 9x + x = 135

=> 10x = 1350

=> x = 1350/10

=> x = 135


Numbers are,

• x = 135
• 150-x =150-135 = 15


I hope this will help you
