​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

here is ur answer hopefully it helps you follow me....

two no are in ratio 5:7 .

the sum of the numbers are 132 .

let the ratio be 5x and 7x .

so,

5x+7x= 132

12x=132

x=132/12

x= 11

so the two numbers are..

5x=5×11=55

7x=7×11=77

proof::-- 55+77=132..

Answer 2

Answer:

55 & 77

Step-by-step explanation:

let the nos be x & y

x/y=5/7               7x=5y  x=5y/7 ...i

x+y=132

from i

5y/7+y=132

dividing throughout with 7

5y+7y=924

12y=924

y=77

x=132-77

x=55
