Answers
Answer:
let the numbers be 7x and 8x.
7x+8x=90
15x=90
x=6
7x=7×6
=42
8x=8×6
=48
Answer:
42 and 48 respectively
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 7x and 8x repectively
Then,
= 7x+8x=90
= 15x=90 (Add 7x and 8x)
= x=90/15 (Take 15 on the RHS)
= x=6 (Divide 90 by 15)
Therefore
= 7x =8x (Substitute x with 6)
= 7×6 =8×6 (Multiply)
= 42 =48
Verification:
= 7x+8x=90 (Substitute with 42 and 48 respectively)
= 42+48=90 (Add them)
= 90=90
= LHS=RHS
