Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 9:2 if their difference is 84 then the number are​

Answer 1

9x - 2x= 84
7x=84
X=84/7
X=12

Answer 2

Answer:

108 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the greatest common factor of the two numbers be x. Let x be half of the smaller number and one-ninth of the larger number. The difference between these two numbers would be:

9x - 2x = 84, as stated

7x = 84

x = 12

Therefore, the two numbers are 12 times 2 = 24 and 12 times 9 = 108.
