1) Two numbers are in the ratio 5: 6. If 8 is added to each of the numbers, they will be in the ratio 7: 8. Find the numbers. 2) What should be added to both 9 and 29 to produce the numbers that are in the ratio 3: 4.

(the answer to 1 is20:24) (and 2 is 51)

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
