Question

Two numbers are in ratio 7:9 their sum is 288 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\tt7x + 9x = 288$

$\tt16x = 288$

$\tt \: x = \dfrac{288}{16}$

$\tt \: x = 18$

now

$\tt \: 7x = 7 \times 18 \\ \tt = 126$

$\tt \: 9x = 9 \times 18 \\ \tt = 162$

Therefore the numbers are [126] , [162] .
