Question

the ratio of two positive integers is 9 ratio 5 if their difference is 8 then find the sum of the numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given:

Ratio of two numbers = 9 : 5

Let the numbers be 9x , 5x.

Also,

Difference of the numbers = 8

Hence,

→ 9x - 5x = 8

→ 4x = 8

→ x = 8/4

→ x = 2

Hence,

• 1st number = 9x = 9(2) = 18

• 2nd number = 5x = 5(2) = 10.

Now,

Sum of the numbers = 18 + 10 = 28.

Therefore, the sum of the required numbers is 28.

Answer 2

Answer:

28 ( 18 + 10 = 28 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be multiples of x

So the numbers are 9x and 5x

The difference of the two numbers is 8

So 9x - 5x = 8

=> 4x = 8

=> x = 2

Applying x = 2 in 9x and 5x

We get the two numbers are 9(2) and 5(2)

= 18 and 10

So the 2 numbers are 18 and 10

Sum of two numbers = 18 + 10 = 28
