Answer 2

Given:

• Ratio of the two numbers = 5:3
• Difference = 18

Solution:

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x

According to the question,

$5x-3x=18\\2x=18$

Finding x,

$x=\frac{18}{2} \\\implies \boxed{x=9}$

Therefore,

The numbers are $5x=5 \times 9=\boxed{45}$

and $3x = 3 \times 9 = \boxed{27}$

Hence, the numbers are 45 and 27.
