Answer: numbers are 45 & 27

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers are 5x and 3x

given that: 5x-3x=18     [difference]

2x=18

x=9    [substitute value of x=9 in the given numbers]

i.e. 5(9)= 45

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

According to the question,

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 19

Thus,

The numbers are 5x = 5 × 9 = 45

And 3x = 3 × 9 = 27.
