Answer 1

3x -2x =75
x =75

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Ratio of the two numbers = 3:2

Let X be multiply to these numbers. Then the numbers becomes 3X and 2X.


According to question,


3X -2X = 75

X = 75

First Number = 3X = 3 × 75 = 225

and,


Second number = 2X = 2 × 75 = 150


Hence,


the smallest Number is 150.
