Answer 1

Answer:

Let the 2 numbers be 2x and 3x

5 added to 2x would be 2x+5

5 added to 3x would be 3x+5

According to the question,

2x+5/3x+5= 5/7

On cross- multiplication, we get

(2x+5)*7= (3x+5)*5

14x+35= 15x+25

On transposing 14x to R.H.S and 25 to L.H.S, we get

35-25= 15x-14x

10= x

Therefore, x=10

The first number is 2x =2*10=20

Second number is 3x= 3*10=30

Therefore, 20 and 30 are the 2 numbers.
