Answer
Smallest number = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be 3x and 5x
According to question
3x-9/5x-9 = 12/23
69x -207 = 60x -108
69x-60x = -108+207
9x = 99
x = 11
So smaller number = 3×11 = 33
I hope it helps you....

AnswEr :
- Original Ratio = 3 : 5
- When we Subtract 9 from each, then New Number will be in Ratio 12 : 23.
Let the Numbers be 3x and, 5x.
• Let's Head to the Question Now :
• O R I G I N A L ⠀N O ( S ).
◗ Smaller No. = 3x = 3(11) = 33
◗ Greater No. = 4x = 4(11) = 44
⠀
∴ Therefore, Smaller Number will be 33.
• V E R I F I C A T I O N :
↠ (3 : 5) – 9 from each = 12 : 23
↠ (3x – 9) : (5x – 9) = 12 : 23
↠ 3(11) – 9 : 5(11) – 9 = 12 : 23
↠ 33 – 9 : 55 – 9 = 12 : 23
↠ 24 : 46 = 12 : 23
↠ 12 : 23 = 12 : 23 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Hence, Verified!
