Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
When 4 is added to two numbers, the numbers become x + 4 and y + 4. Their ratio
(x + 4) / (y + 4) = 5 / 6
Cross multiplication
5 (y + 4) = 6 (x + 4)
5y + 20 = 6x + 24
5y - 6x = 24 - 20
5y - 6x = 4 …Eq..1
When 4 is subtracted from the two numbers, the ratio is 1 : 2.
When 4 is subtracted from the numbers, the numbers become x - 4 and y - 4. Their ratio
(x - 4) / (y - 4) = 1 / 2
Cross multiplication
(y - 4) = 2 (x - 4)
y - 4 = 2x - 8
y - 2x = 4 - 8
y - 2x = - 4
y = 2x - 4…Eq..2
Now putting the value of y from Eq..2 to Eq..1
5y - 6x = 4
5 (2x - 4) - 6x = 4
10x - 20 - 6x = 4
10x - 6x = 4 + 20
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6
One number is 6
To derive the value of y, putting the value of x in Eq..2
y = 2x - 4
y = 2 × 6 - 4
y = 12 - 4
y = 8
Thus the two numbers are 6 and 8.
