Question

tow numbers are in the ratio 3:5if15is added to both the number ,then the ratio between two number becomes 3/4 find the greater number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Second number is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

= let the two numbers be 3x and 5x

respectively

= 15 added to both, changes the ratio

to 3:4= 3/4

then (3x+15)+(5x+15)= 3/4

=→ 3x+5x+15+15= 3/4

=→ 8x= 3/4-30

=→ 8x= -117/4

=→ x= -117/4×1/8

=→ x= -117/32

=→ x= -3.65

one number = 3×3.65

= 10.95 or 11

other number= 5×3.65

= 18.25 or 18

So Second number is greater.

Hope my answer helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

-12 is the greater number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.

According to the question :-

3x + 15= 3 And 5x + 15= 4

=) 3x = 3-15

=) x = - 12/3 = - 4

Therefore,

3x = 3X-4= - 12

5x= 5X-4= - 20
