Answer 2

Answer:

let first number = X

let second number = X

they are in the ratio of = 7 : 3

so let first number. = 7x

and second number = 3x

their difference = 88

7x - 3x = 88

4x = 88

X = 88 / 4

X = 22

value of X = 22

So. first number = 7x = 7 × 22

= 154

second number = 3x

= 3 × 22

= 66

Verification

put the value of X in equation

7x - 3x = 88

7 ( 22) - 3 ( 22 ) = 88

154 - 66 = 88

88 = 88

LHS = RHS
