the ratio of two number is 3:4
let the number first number is X and second number is y
X/y=3/4........(1)
x - y=8........(2)
from equation 1 ,
X/y=3/4
X=(3/4)×y
now put the value of X in equation 2
x - y= 8
(3/4)y - y =8
(3y - 4y)/4=8
- y/4=8
y=-32
so that
X=(3/4)y
X=3/4×(-32)
x=3×(-8)
X=-24
hence the value of X and y is,
X=(-24)
y=(-32). Answer
I hope that helps you
