Answer 2

Answer:

15 and 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 3x and 5x.

Given that both are increased by , their ratio becomes 2:3.

⇒ 3x + 5 : 5x + 5 = 2 : 3

⇒ 3(3x + 5) = 2(5x + 5)

⇒ 9x + 15 = 10x + 10

⇒ 9x - 10x = 10 - 15

⇒ x = 5.

Then:

⇒ 3x = 15

⇒ 5x = 25.

Therefore, the numbers are 15 and 25.

Hope it helps!
