Question

There are two numbers.when 1 is added to each of the number their ratio becomes 1:2 and when 5 is subtracted from each their ratio becomes 5:11.Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x=35

y= 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no.s be x and y

(x+1)/(y+1) = 1/2

2x+2 = y+1

2x - y = -1

y= 2x+1

(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/11

11x-55= 5y - 25

11x - 5y = 30

11x- 10x-5= 30

x=35

y= 2x+1

y = 2* 35  + 1

y= 71
