Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the numbers = 4 : 7

Let the numbers be 4x and 7x

When 3 is added to each number, the numbers will b

4x + 3 and 7x + 3

and its given that

$\frac{4x + 3}{7x + 3}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$

8(4x + 3) = 5(7x + 3)

= 32x + 24 = 35x + 15

32x - 35x = 15 - 24

-3x = -9

x = -9/-3

x = 3

So the numbers are 4 x 3 = 12 and 7 x 3 = 21
