PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Find TWO numbers if their difference is 16 and their ratio is 5:7.

Step-by-step explanation:

their difference is 16

x - y = 16

⇒ x = 16 + y

their ratio is 5:7

x/y = 5/7

substitute:

(16 + y)/y  = 5/7

16 + y = (5y)/7

112 + 7y = 5y

2y = -112

y = -56

x - y = 16, so x -  -56 = 16,

x+56 = 16

x = 16-56

x = -40

i think this could be a possible answer (1 / 84) -1

good luck! : d
