Question

the ratio of two numbers is 7:5 if th bigger number is bigger is doubled and the smaller is increased by 18the two numbers are the same then find two numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 7x and 5x.

If 7x is doubled it is=2×7x=14x

If the smaller number is increased by 18 it is=5x+18

Now both the numbers are equal.

i.e. 14x=5x+18

=> 14x-5x=18

=> 9x= 18

=>x=18/9=2

So the numbers are 7×2=14

and5×2=10

Thus the numbers are 14 and10
