3x+5x=56

8x=56

x=7

the numbers are

3x=3*7=21

5x=5*7=35

Answer 2

Answer:

21 & 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 3:5

let the number be = y

so,

3y : 5y

and also given that,

3y + 5y = 56

= 8y = 56

= y = 7

THEREFORE,

the numbers = 3y = 3*7 = 21

                     = 5y = 5*7 = 35
