1.	h that orne part is 10more than the uther. fthe twoparts are in the ratio 5:3, find the number and the two parts
Answer» let the parts be: x and y let the number be ztherefore x/y = 5/3=> x= 5y/3 ----------1=> and x = 10+y ---------2thus: z = x+y so from 1 and 25y/3 = 10+y5y/3-y = 102y/3 = 10 y = 15thus x = 25hence z= 25+15=40

Answer»

let the parts be: x and y let the number be ztherefore x/y = 5/3=> x= 5y/3 ----------1=> and x = 10+y ---------2thus: z = x+y

so from 1 and 25y/3 = 10+y5y/3-y = 102y/3 = 10

y = 15thus x = 25hence z= 25+15=40
