A/Q

8x-1x=623

7x=623 x=623/7 (Transferring 7 to RHS)

x=89

First Number=8x→ 8x89

➡712

Second Number=x→ 89

Answer 2

Given :-

• The ratio of two numbers is 8:1
• The difference is 623.

To Find :-

• The two numbers.

Solution :-

Let the two numbers be 8x and 1x.

=> 8x - 1x = 623

=> 7x = 623

=> x = 623/7

=> x = 89

According to the Question,

=> 8x = 8 × x

=> 8 × 89

=> 712

Second number:

=> 1x = 1 × 89

=> 89

Therefore, the two numbers are 89 and 712.
