Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers we get are 45 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find -

The number $5x$ & $3x$

Solution -

let,

The two number are $5x$ and $3x$ as two number are in the ratio 5:3.

x is a multiplier .

$5x-3x = 18\\2x = 18$

To get the value of x we shift the 2 to right hand side and it get divisible to 18

$x = \frac{18}{2}$

After dividing by 2 we get  

$x = 9$

The number becomes

$5x = 5$ × $9 = 45$

$3x = 3$ × $9 = 27$

The two numbers we get are 45 and 27.
