Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7. If the difference between them is 18, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the difference between 5 is to 7 must be 18 to be much do 7 - 5 is equal to 18

let's take 5 as 5x and 7 as 7x

7x-5x =18

so 2x=18

x=18/2=9

so x=9

5x=5(9)=45

7x =7(9)=63

63-45= 18 this its verified

5:7

thus 45,63 are the numbers

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7

Their difference is 18

Let's assume the numbers as 5x and 7x

According to the question,

➡ 7x - 5x = 18

➡ 2x = 18

➡ x = 18/2

➡ x = 9

Hence,

The number are = 5x = 45 ans.

And also 7x = 63 ans.
