Question

what must be subtracted from each term of the ratio 15:23 so that the ratio becomes 7:15​

Answer 1

the answer is 8 because when we subtract 8 from 15 it will come 7 and from 23 it will also come 15

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

15-x/23- x=7/15

7(23-x)=15(15-x).

161-7=225-15x

15x-7x=225-161

8x=64

x=64/8

x=8
