Answer 1

Answer:

let bigger number is x and smaller number is y

so,

x+y=50

and

x/y=7/11

x=7y/11

substituting value of x in first equation,

(7y/11)+y=50

7y+11y=550

18y=550

y=275/9

So,

x=7.275/9-11

Answer 2

Answer:

let bigger number is x

and smaller number is y

SO,

xty-50

and

x/y=7/11

x=7y/11

substituting value of x in first equation,

(7y/1)+y=50

7y+11y=550

18y-550

y=275/9

So,

x=7-275/9.11
