Question

two numbers are in the ratio 7 :16 in 10 is added to both the numbers then the ratio 1: 2 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Let the numbers be 7x and 16x.

(7x+10)/(16x+10)=1/2

2(7x+10)=1(16x+10)

14x+20=16x+10

2x=10

x=5

Therefore the numbers are:-

7x=7×5=35

16x=16×5=80

They numbers are 35 and 80.

I hope this helps you and please mark me the brainliast

Answer 2

Let smaller no be X

and larger number = Y

so. X/Y= 7/16

16X=7Y. or Y= (16/7) X

After adding 10

(X+10)/(Y+10)= 1/2

2X+20= Y+10

= (16/7)X+10 after simplify

2X=70

X=35

Y= 35×16/7= 80

Larger no= 80

Smaller no= 35
