Question

Two numbers are in ratio 5:3.If they differ by 18,what are number? urgent please

Answer 1

let the numbers be 5x and 3x
atq:- 3x +18=5x
18=5x-3x
18=2x
18/2=x
9=x
5x=45
3x=27

Answer 2

let first no. be x.
therefore second no. will be x-18.
x/(x-18)=5/3
3x=5(x-18)
3x=5x-90
2x=90
x=45.
x-18=45-18=27.
therefore ,
the first no. is 45.
and second no. is 27.
hope it helps,
