Question

The sum of two numbers,one of which is 2/3 times the other ,is 50.find the two numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

one number is x the other one is 2x/3 their sum is 50

x+2x/3=50

3x/3+2x/3=50

5x/3=50 multiply each side by 3/5

x=50(3/5) reduce 50 and 5 by 5

x=10(3)

x=30

so one number is 30 then the other one is 30(2/3)=10*2=20

check: 30+20=50
