The answer is here in the following....
The ratio of the two numbers are 4:7
Let the ratio be 4x and 7x
The larger one is 7x and smaller one is 4x
Acoording to question,
thrice the larger number + twice the smaller number = 59
=>7x*3 + 4x+2 = 59
=>21x + 8x = 59
=>29x = 59
=>x = 2.3
=>x = 2 ( approx)
Hence the numbers are....
4x = 4*2 = 12
7x = 7*2 = 14
Mark as brainliest if you like it.
