Answer 2

First number = 249 and second number = 291

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = 6x and 7x

To find, the value of first number and second number = ?

According to question,

$6x+7x =540$

⇒ $13x=540$

⇒$x=\dfrac{540}{13}$

⇒ $x=41.5$

∴ First number = 6 × 41.5 = 249 and

Second number = 540 - 249 = 291

Hence, first number = 249 and second number = 291
