Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-5x=16

2x=16

x=16/2

x= 8

first number = 7*8=56

second number = 5*8=40

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 7:5.

Let the 1st no. be 7x and the 2nd no. be 5x.

According to the sum,

7x - 5x = 16

2x = 16

x = 16 ÷ 2

x = 8

Therefore, 1st no. = 7x ,i.e., 7 × 8 = 56.

2nd no. = 5x ,i.e., 5 × 8 = 40.
