Answer:
1st no is 15, 2nd no is 25
Step-by-step explanation:
let the no.s be 3x and 5x respectively,
as per condition,
3x+10/5x+10 = 5/7
cross multiplying we get,
5(5x+10) = 7(3x+10)
25x+50 = 21x+70
25x-21x = 70-50
4x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
putting value of x in 3x and 5x we get,
15 and 25.. hence the numbers are 15 and 25..
hope it helps..
