Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are (-20/3) and (-40/3) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are in the ratio 1:2.

So the numbers are something like 1x and 2x.

Decreasing 5 from first, adding 4 to second, they become: 1x -5 and 2x+4

So

(1x-5)/(2x+4) = 5/4

4x - 20 = 10x + 20

-6x = 40

x = -20/3

So the numbers are (-20/3) and (-40/3) .
