Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

Eighteen increased by x In algebraic expression
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

18 + x or x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you solve this math problem!

We are already given the number eighteen to start with, so this helps us a lot.

Since the word INCREASED means to add, and <u>we're increasing eighteen by x</u>, all you have to do is write it out to get your algebraic expression, as shown:

18 + x

You can also write the expression as x + 18! It doesn't matter what order you write it in.

I hope this helped you! You can comment below if you have any further questions! :)
