• Difference = 18

TO FIND :

Numbers

SOLUTION :

Let the numbers be 5x and 3x

$\large \sf \: 5x - 3x = 18$

$\large \sf \: 2x = 18$

$\large \sf \: x = \dfrac{18}{2}$

$\large \sf \: x = 9$

Numbers are

• 5(9) = 45
• 3(9) = 27

Answer 2

Answer:

45 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

According to the question,

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 19

Thus,

The numbers are 5x = 5 × 9 = 45

And 3x = 3 × 9 = 27.
