Question

Two numbers are in the ratio7:5 . If their sum is 96 , what are the two numbers ?

Answer 1

thier sum must be 7x + 5x =96
you simplify that to 12x =96
then divide by 12 to get x=8
then the two numbers are

5x = 5 (8) = 40
7x= 7 (8)= 56

Answer 2

$Let \: the \: numbers \: be \: 7x \: and \: 5x. \\ 7x + 5x = 96 \\ 12x = 96 \\ x = 8$

$The \: numbers \: are \: 56 \: and \: 40.$
