Answer:
The numbers in the ratio are 20 and 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers from the first ratio be
2x and 3x
A.T.P
(2x + 5) / (3x + 5) = 5 / 7
=> 7(2x + 5) = 5(3x + 5)
=> 14x + 35 = 15x +25
=> 35 - 25 = 15x - 14x
=> 10 = x
The first number = 2(10) = 20
The second number = 3(10) = 30
