Answer:
The numbers are 10 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be 5x and 6x.
so, (5x + 2)/(6x + 3) = 4/5
25x + 10 = 24x + 12
x = 2
thus, the numbers are 5*2 and 6*2
So the numbers are 10 and 12

Answer:
The numbers are 10 and 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x/y =5/6
:6x =5y
:6x-5y =0...............(1)
:x+2/y+3=4/5
:5x+10=4y+12
:5x-4y=2.................(2)
: multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 6,we get
30x-25y = 0 .........(3)
30x-24y = 12 .........(4)
-. +. -. [Subtracting]
________________
-y = -12
y = 12
: Substituting the value of y in equation 1, we get
6x-(5×12) = 0
6x = 60
x= 10.
Hope it helps:)
