Answer 1

Answer:

plz mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

let their ratio be x

so the two numbers are: 5x and 3x

now, according to question

5x - 3x =18

2x =18

x= 9.

therefore the two numbers are:

5x= 5 x 9= 45

and

3x= 3 x 9 = 27

answer.

just in case you want to verify

45-27=18

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 45

y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y.

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5K}{3K}$

given : x - y = 18 ⇒ 5K - 3K = 18 ⇒K = 9

therefore, x = 5*9 = 45 ; y = 3*9 = 27
