by 20, the ratio becomes 2:3
find the numbers
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The numbers be 12x , 13x . Given, Numbers are reduced by 20 . x = 2 . Now, The numbers are 2(12) , 2(13) = 24 , 26 .

Answer 2

Answer:

okay.

let the two numbers be 12x and 13x.

now, as per the question it is reduced by 20.

12x-20/13x-20=ratio become 2:3.

12x-20/13x-20= 2/3.

3(12x-20) =2(13x-20).

36x-60= 26x-40.

36x-26x= 60-40.

10x = 20.

x = 20/10.=>x = 2.

now, first number be 12x = 12(2) = 24.

second number be 13x= 13(2) =26.
