Question

Two numbers are in the ration 4:5.if 6 is added to each , the new ratio becomes 14:17 , find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The no. is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

The ratio is 4x/5x

when 6 is added to both, the ratio becomes 4x+6/5x+6

Given,

4x+6/5x+6=14/17

17(4x+6)=14(5x+6)

68x+102=70x+84

102-84=70x-68x

18=2x

x=9.

HOPE IT IS HELPFUL.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that,

First number =4x

Second number= 5x

According to the question

4x+6/ 5x+6= 14 /17

17(4x+6)= 14(5x+6)

68x+102=70x + 84

102-84= 70x - 68x

18 = 2x

18/2 = x

9=x

x = 9
