Question

) The ratio of two numbers is 2:3 and their difference
is 20. Find those numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

40,60

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of two numbers = 2: 3

let constant ratio be 'x' here 3x > 2x

difference = 20

3x -2x = 20 => x = 20

so the numbers are ,

3x = 3(20) = 60, 2x = 2(20) = 40

Answer 2

Answer:+40,+60 or-40,-60

Step-by-step explanation:

X/Y=2/3

》3x-2y=0...........(1)

X-Y=+or -20...........(2)

From (2)

X-Y=20......(3)

X-Y= -20...(4)

Now solving 1 and 3

We get X=-40 and Y= -60

Then solving 1 and 4

We get X=40 and Y=60
