Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 5:6. if 5 is subtracted from each number the ratio becomes 4:5. find the numbers.

Answer 1

5x-5\6x-5=4\5
5*(5x-5)=4*(6x-5)
25x-25=24x-20
x=5
numbers will be
5x=5*5=25
6x=6*5=30

Answer 2

Answer:

25:30

Step-by-step explanation:

• 5x-5/6x-5 = 4/5
• 5(5x-5), 4(6x-5)
• =25x-25= 24x-20
• 25x-24x= 25-20
• x= 5
• then we multiply 5x/6x to 5 then we get answer
• so 5x*5= 25
• and 6x*5= 30
• 25:30

hope its helps you
