INCERT E
12 Sotse

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A/B=5/6

Let A = 5x , B = 6X

Then 5x-8/6x-8=4/5

25X-40=24X-32

X= 8

Therefore A= 5*X= 5*8=40

B= 6*X=6*8=48

Answer 2

take them as:

5x =6x

then

5x - 8 ÷ 4 = 6x - 8 ÷ 5

then cross mulitly them:

20x - 32 = 24x - 32

-32 + 32 = 24x - 20x

then -32 & +32 get cancelled with eachother

0 = 4x

x = 0 ÷ 4
