1.	Two no.s are in the ratio 2:3 if 5 added to both the no.s the ratio becomes 3:2 find the no.s
Answer» Given: Two NUMBERS are in the ratio 2:3 if 5 ADDED to both the numbers, the ratio becomes 3:2 Solution : Ratio of the numbers =. 2:3 So, LET the numbers = 2x : 3x When added 5, The numbers = 2x+5 and 3x+5 2x+5 : 3x+5 = 3:2 (2x+5) /3 = (3x+5)/2 2(2x+5) = 3(3x+5) 4x + 10 = 9x + 15 4x = 9x +5 -5x = 5 x = 5/-5 x = -1 The numbers = 2x & 3x The numbers = - 2 & - 3 Hope this will help...

Answer»

Two NUMBERS are in the ratio 2:3 if 5 ADDED to both the numbers, the ratio becomes 3:2

Ratio of the numbers =. 2:3

So,

LET the numbers = 2x : 3x

The numbers = 2x+5 and 3x+5

2x+5 : 3x+5 = 3:2

(2x+5) /3 = (3x+5)/2

2(2x+5) = 3(3x+5)

4x + 10 = 9x + 15

4x = 9x +5

-5x = 5

x = 5/-5

The numbers = 2x & 3x
