Answer 1

Hola Friend!!!!

Let two numbers be 5x and 3x

According to contents given in question ,

5x - 3x = 18

2x = 18

★ x = 9 ★

Numbers are 5 × 9 = 45 and 3 × 9 = 27 .......♦ i.e 45 and 27 ♦

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Hey mate ......✌

Let the no. be m and n
Then ,
According to question,

m : n = 5: 3
OR
m = 5n/3

m - n = 18

Substituting the value of m
5n/3 - n = 18
5n -3n = 3
2n = 3
◆ n = 3/2

Therefore
m = (5×3/2)÷ 3
m = 15/2 × 1/3
◆ m = 5/2

✌Hope it helps
