Question

The difference of two numbers is 15 and their ratio is 3:2 . Find the number​

Answer 1

let the numbers be 3x and 2x

so 3x-2x=15

x=15

so the numbers are

3 x 15

and

2 x 15

the numbers are 45 and 30

please mark my answer as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y respectively

so  x-y = 15   and   x:y::3:2

so x = 15 +y

substituting this

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{2} \\\\\frac{15 + y}{y} =\frac{3}{2}$

now with cross multiplication

(15 + y)2 = 3*y

thus 30 + 2y = 3y

so y = 30

x = 45
