Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:2. If they differ by 8, write the linear equation formed.​

Answer 1

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

Answer:

The linear equation so formed is 5x - 2x = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be 5x.

Let other number be 2x

According to question,

5x - 2x = 8 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  eq. so formed

Solution if you want*

5x - 2x = 8

3x = 8

x = 8/3

∴ The value of x is 8/3.
