Answer 1

Let the numbers be 7a and 13a

According to question,

7a + 13a = 260

=> 20a = 260

=> a = 13

First number = 13 × 7 = 91

Second number = 13 × 13 = 169

Answer 2

let numbers are 7x and 13x.


7x + 13x = 260

20x = 260


x = 260/20



x = 13.


first number = 7x = 91

and, second number = 13x = 169
