Let one number is P
then other number is ( 184 - P)
A/C to question,
P/3 = ( 184 - P)/7 + 8
P/3 - ( 184 - P)/7 = 8
{7P - 3(184 - P) }/21 = 8
{ 7P - 552 +3P } = 168
10P = 552 + 168 = 720
P = 72 ,
hence, one number is 72
and other number is ( 184 - P) = (184 - 72) = 112
then other number is ( 184 - P)
A/C to question,
P/3 = ( 184 - P)/7 + 8
P/3 - ( 184 - P)/7 = 8
{7P - 3(184 - P) }/21 = 8
{ 7P - 552 +3P } = 168
10P = 552 + 168 = 720
P = 72 ,
hence, one number is 72
and other number is ( 184 - P) = (184 - 72) = 112
