Hii frnd.

Let a number be x
So another number will be 5x
5x-18=3x
2x=18
x=9

Hope it helped u.

Answer 2

Let x be the greater number.

Let y be the smaller number.

Given, x = 5y    --------------------- (1)

Given, x - 18 = 3y  ---------------------- (2)

         x - 18 = 3y

       5y - 18 = 3y(from (1))

         2y = 18

          y = 9.

Substitute y in (1), we get

x = 45.


So, the number are x = 45 and y = 9.


Hope this helps!
