Question

X:y= 5:3 and x+y=56 what is x-y

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x-y = 14...

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 5 : 3

=> x/y = 5/3

=> x = 5y/3

Putting x = 5y/3,

x + y = 56

=> 5y/3 + y = 56

=> 8y/3 = 56

=> y = 21

x = 5y/3

=> x = 5 × 21 ÷ 3 = 35

x - y = 35 - 21 = 14 ----- ANSWER
