Question

The ratio of two numbers is 5: 7 and their sum is 84. Find these numbers​

Answer 1

$let \: the \: number \: be \: = x \\ so \: it \: will \: be \: 5x \: and \: 7x$

A/q

$5x + 7x = 84 \\ 12x = 84 \\ x = \frac{84}{12} \\ x = 7 \\ so \: \: number \: will \: be \\ 5x = 5 \times 7 = 35 \\ 7x = 7 \times 7 = 49$

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{ANSWER}}$

Let the two numbers be 5x and 7x

Then, their sum = 5x + 7x = 84

=> 12x = 84

=> x = 84/12

=> x = 7

Now,

First number, 5x = 5(7) = 35

Second number, 7x = 7(7) = 49

$\textit{Hence, the two numbers are 35 and 49}$
