Question

The difference of two number is 75% of
their sum. the ratio of the largest no, to
the smaller number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2[n + (3/2)n] = 75(2)

2n + (2)(3/2)n = 75(2)

2n + (2/2)(3n) = 150

2n + (1)(3n) = 150

2n + 3n = 150

Now, collecting like terms on the left side, we have:

(2 + 3)n = 150

5n = 150

Now, dividing both sides by 5 to solve for n, we get:

(5n)/5 = 150/5

(5/5)n = 150/5

(1)n = 30

n = 30

Hope it hepls you.. :)
