the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

The two numbers are 5x and 3x

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

5x – 3x = 18

2x = 18

x= 9

Therefore the two numbers are

5x = 5 x 9 = 45

and

3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Answer 2

Given :-

Two number are in the ratio - 3:2.

To find :-

If they differ by 18, what are the numbers?

Solution :-

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x.

The two numbers are 3x and 2x.

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation :-

3x – 2x = 18

1x = 18

x = 18

Therefore the two numbers are :-

3x = 3 x 18 = 54

and

2x = 2 x 18 = 36

∴ The two numbers are 54 and 36.
