Answer 1

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you add them then you will get the exact number

Answer 2

⧠ Let the numbers be 3x and 7x.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bigstar\:\boldsymbol{\underline{According\;to\;the\;problem}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\begin{gathered}\implies\sf{\cfrac{3x+6}{7x+6}=\cfrac{5}{9}}\\\\\\\implies\sf{5(7x+6)=9(3x+6)}\\\\\\\implies\sf{35x+30=27x+54}\\\\\\\implies\sf{35x-27x=54-30}\\\\\\\implies\sf{8x=24}\\\\\\\implies\sf{x=\dfrac{\cancel{24}}{\cancel{\:8\:}}}\\\\\\\implies{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\frak{x=3}}}}}{\:\bigstar}\end{gathered}$

Therefore,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

First number = 3x = 3 × 3 = 9

Second number = 7x = 7 × 3 = 21

$\sf{Hence,\;the\;two\;numbers\;are\;{\bf{9}}\;and\;{\bf{21}}}$
