Answer 1

heya friend

here is your answer

the ratio of the two no. are 4:7

so, let the 2 no. be 4x and 7x

the larger no.is 7x and the smaller one 4x

here the given statement states that

thrice the larger no.= 3(7x)=21x

plus=sum= add= +

twice the smaller = 2(4x) =8x

is equal to = =

59

the equation is

21x + 8x = 59

they both are like terms so add them and keep variable as x

so, (21+8)x = 59

=> 29x = 59

=> x = 59/29

=> x = 2.3

=> x = 2.0 ( approx )

so, the no are

4x = 4*2= 8

7x = 7*2= 14
