Question

The ratio of two numbers is 2:7 If 14 is added to each of the numbers.
Then the ratio of the new numbers becomes 4:7. What are the original
numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-6 y=-21

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y.

therefore,x/y=2/7

after adding 14 the ratio becomes,

x+14/y+14=4/7

or,7x+98=4y+56

or,7x-4y+42=0

or,7×2y/7+42=0

or.2y+42=0

or,2y=-42

or,y=-21

or,x=-6
