Let the two numbers be 2x and 3x
According to the question,
=
(2x-5)(2) = 3x - 5
4x - 10 = 3x - 5
4x - 3x = -5 + 10
x = 5
Hence, the two numbers are
2x = 2*5 = 10
3x = 3*5 = 15

Answer:
Let the numbers are x and y
Therefore, x/y=2/3
3x=2y
x=2y/3
Now according to the problem if 5 is substructed from both then the ratio becomes 1:2
So, (x-5)/(y-5)=1/2
=>2x-10=y-5
=>2x=y+5
=>2(2y/3)=y+5
=>4y=3y+15
=>y=15
And x=2*15/3=10
