Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. =8x and 7x

so ATQ

$\frac{8x - 2}{7x - 2} = \frac{7}{6} \\ 6(8x - 2) = 7(7x - 2) \\ 48x - 12 = 49x - 14 \\ 48x - 49x = - 14 + 12 \\ - x = - 2 \\ x = 2$

so 8x = 8×2=16

and 7×2=14

Answer 2

Answer:

LET THE DIGIT BE =8x

LET THE DIGIT BE =7x

8x-2/7x-2 = 7/6

6(8x-2) = 7(7x-2)

48x-12 = 49x - 14

14-12 = 49x-48x

2 = x

the number is 8X2=17, 7X2=14
