Find 2 numbers if their difference is 16 and their ratio is 5:7

56 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

40 and 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 16    where x is the greater number

If the ratio is 5:7 one number must be 7/12 of the total of the 2 numbers, so:

x =  7/12(x + y)

From first equation x = y + 16, so substituting for x:-

y + 16 = 7/12( 2y + 16)

Multiplying through by 12:

12y + 192 = 7(2y + 16)

12y + 192 = 14y + 112

2y = 192 - 112 = 80

y = 40

So x = 40+ 16 = 56.
