Step-by-step explanation:
according to the question, the difference between two numbers is 8 and the numbers are in ratio 9 : 13.
let the numbers be 9x and 13x
therefore 13x - 9x = 8
>> 4x = 8
>> x = 8/4
>> x = 2
hence, the numbers are :-
9x = 9 × 2 = 18 and 13x = 13 × 2 = 26

Step-by-step explanation:
let the no.'s be x.
ratio = 9:13.
then,
9x - 13x = 8
-4x = 8
x = 8/-4
x = -2 .
then, 9x = 9×x = 9×(-2) = -18 ans.
13x = 13×x = 13×(-2) = -26 ans.
