Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:8 if 6 is subtracted from each the ratio becomes 5:6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number =7x

Let the second number =8x

APQ,

(7x-6/8x-6)=5/6

(7x-6)*6=(8x-6)*5

42x-36=40x-30

42x-40x=36-30

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

Therefore first number =7*3

=21

second number =8*3

=24
