Question

two number are in the ratio 6:7. if they differ by 21, then what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

The two numbers are 5x and 3x

Since two numbers differ by 21, we can write the equation

6x – 7x = 21

-x = 21

x= -21

Therefore the two numbers are

6x = -21 * 6 = -126

and

7x = -21 * 7 = -147

∴ The two numbers are -126 and -147 .
