Question

Two numbers have a ratio of 8:7. The difference between the numbers
is 30. Form and solve the equation to obtain the sum of both the
numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 = -16

7 = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

When ratio is there, we multiply two unknown values with each no.,Let the unknown value be x

8x + 7x = -30

15x = -30

x = -30/15

x = -2

First value = 8 X -2 = -16

Second Value = 7 X -2 = -14

Prove is as follow:

-16-14= -30
