|
Answer» LET the required numbers be 3x and 5X If 8 is ADDED to each other 3x+8:5x+8=2:3 3x+85x+8=23 3(3x+8)=2(5x+8) 9x+24=10x+16 10x-9x=24-16 x=8 Thus the numbers are 3x=3(8)=24 5x=5(8)=40 Let the required numbers be 3x and 5x If 8 is added to each other 3x+8:5x+8=2:3 3x+85x+8=23 3(3x+8)=2(5x+8) 9x+24=10x+16 10x-9x=24-16 x=8 Thus the numbers are 3x=3(8)=24 5x=5(8)=40 |
