Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 4:7. If thrice the larger is added to twice the smaller, the sum is 58. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be 4X and 7X

3(7X) + 2(4X) = 58

21X + 8X = 58

X = 2

the numbers are 8 , 14

Answer 2

Answer:

8and14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

4=4x,7=7x

thrice of larger number=3(7x)

twice if smaller number=2(4x)

=3(7x) +2(4x) =58

21x+8x=58

29x=58

x=58/29

x=2

now

4x=4*2=8

7x=7*2=14
