Question

The sum of two numbers is 32 and their difference is 8 then the ratio of the two numbers is

Answer 1

Answer:Call x and y the 2 numbers.

x + y = 32

x - y = 8

2x = 40  -> x = 20, and y = 32 - 20 = 12.

Answer 2

The ratio of two numbers is 5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

The sum of two numbers is 32

So, x+y = 32

Their difference is 8

x-y = 8

Add 1 and 2

x+y+x-y=32+8

2x=40

x=20

y=32-x=32-20=12

Ratio = x:y = 20:12 = 10:6 = 5:3

Hence The ratio of two numbers is 5:3
