Answer 1

Heya !!!



Let two numbers are 2X and 3X.


First Number = 2X


And,

Second number = 3X.


According to question,


2X - 2 : 3X + 2 = 1 : 2



2 ( 2X - 2 ) = ( 3X + 2 )


4X - 4 = 3X + 2


4X - 3X = 2 + 4


X = 6



First Number = 2X = 2 × 6 = 12

And,

Second number = 3X = 3 × 6 = 18

Answer 2

Hey!!

Let the first number be 2x

the second number be 3x

A/q

2 ( 2x - 2 ) = ( 3x + 2 )

=> 4x - 4 = 3x + 2

=> 4x - 3x = 2 + 4

=> x = 6

Therefore the first number = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12

and the second number = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18

Hope it will helps you ✌
