Question

the sum of two numbers one of which two third of other is 45 find the smaller number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

18 is smaller number the other is 27

X2/3+x=45

5x/3=45

5x=45x3

x=45x3/5

x=27

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

Let x be smaller than y

The sum of the two numbers is 45

Let x be 2/3 x y

=2/3 x y + y=45

=5/3 x y=45

5y=45x3

5y=135

y=135/5

y=27

x=45-27

x=18

Hence the smaller number is 18
