Question

The line 2x- y +5=0 meets the x-axis at

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the rational number be x. As the numbers are 5:3 . Hence the numbers can be written as 5x

and 3x.

As per the statement the difference in these numbers is 18 .

solving the equation,

5x-3x=18

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

therefore rational x between the number is 9 .Now calculate the numbers by putting the value of rational number x .

5x means

5X9=45

first number is 45

3x means

3X9=27

second number is 27

Therefore the numbers are 45 and 27
