Question

The difference of two numbers in 9 and they are in the ratio 4:7 .find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the greater no. be x and the smaller no. be y

The difference between two nos. is 9 so x - 9 = y

Two nos. are in ratio 4:7

Equation no. 1 is

x - 9 = y

x - y = 9.......... 1)

Equation no. 2 is

x / y = 4 / 7

7x - 4y = 0..............2)

Multiplying equation 1) with 4 , we get

4x - 4y = 36.............3)

By subtracting eq.2) from eq.3) ,we get

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12

Put value of x in eq. 1)

x - y = 9

12 - y = 9

y = 12 - 9

y = 3

The two numbers are 12 and 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: the difference of two number is 9 and they are in the ratio 4:7.find the number

solution - 4x-7x=3x

9/3=3

4*3=12, 7*3=21

Answer:12,21
