.Let the numbers be x and y

and x is greater than y. Then

x – y = 45% of (x + y)

x – y =920920 (x + y)

20x – 20y = 9x + 9y

20x – 9x = 20y + 9y

11x = 29y

xyxy = 2911

Answer 2

Answer:

x:y = 13:7 hope it helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number is x and smaller number is y

ATQ

x - y = 30% ( x+y)

$x - y = \frac{30}{100} (x+y)\\x-y = \frac{3}{10} (x+y)$

cross multiply

10(x-y) = 3(x+y)

10x - 10y = 3x + 3y

10x - 3x = 3y + 10y

7x = 13y

x/y = 13/7

or x:y = 13:7
