Question

two numbers are in the ratio of 2:3 if 2 is added to both , the ratio becomes 3/4 Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

4,6

Step-by-step explanation:

• given x:y=2:3
• let x=2y/3
• 2 is added to both ratio becomes 3/4
• x+2:y+2=3:4
• (x+2)/(y+2)=3/4
• by cross multiplying
• (x+2)*4=(y+2)*3
• 4x+8=3y+6
• x=2y/3
• 4(2y/3)+8=3y+6
• 8y+24=3(3y+6)
• 8y+24=9y+18
• 24-18=9y-8y
• 6=y

x=2y/3

x=2*6/3=12/3

x=4
