Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 6x and 11x as their ratio is 6:11

Given 2 is added to first and 7 is added to second

Hence the numbers become, (6x + 2) and

(11x + 7)

Given (6x + 2) : (11x + 7) = 8:15

Hence 15(6x + 2) = 8(11x + 7)

90x + 30 = 88x + 56

2x = 26

Therefore, x= 13

Hence the numbers are

6x = 6(13) = 78

11x = 11(13) = 143
