​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two numbers are in the ratio 2:3. Let the two numbers are 2x and 3x. If 4 be subtracted from each, they are in the ratio 3:5. The value of x is 8

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x

if 4 is subtracted

2x-4 /3x-4 = 3/5

5*(2x-4)  =  3*(3x-4)

10x-20 = 9x-12

x=8

the numbers are 2x and 3x = 2(8) and 3(8)

=(16 , 24)
