They are 840 and 560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

ONE NUMBER = 840

OTHER NUMBER = 560

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and (1400 - x)

x - (20% × x) = (1400 - x) + (20% × (1400 - x))

x - 20x/100 = (1400 - x) + (20/100 × (1400 - x))

x - x/5 = 1400 - x + (1/5 × (1400 - x))

5x/5 - x/5 = 1400 - x + 280 - x/5

4x/5 = 1680 - 5x/5 - x/5

4x/5 = 1680 - 6x/5

4x/5 + 6x/5 = 1680

10x/5 = 1680

2x = 1680

x = 1680/2

x = 840

The numbers are

x = 840

(1400 - x) = (1400 - 840) = 560
