Est Answer: say the numbers<span> are x and y......and y being the bigger </span>number<span> ... </span>If<span> the </span>ratio<span> is 5:3, then </span>difference<span> between </span>ratio<span> = 5-3 = 2 ... Substituting this x = 5y/3 in equation x-y=</span>18<span> we </span>get<span> ... therefore x = 5 * 27/</span>3 = 5<span>*9 = 45 .... One </span>number<span> is 5 more than another. </span>their<span> sum is 53 what are the </span>two numbers<span>?</span>
So the change in between terms is 5 so you would put 5x, then for the first term, which is 2, 5*1(x)(because it's first term) then the difference between 5-2(because it's the 2nd term) So you would plug 100 in for x so 5(100)-3=497. Hope this helped!
The pattern is the amount you need to add increases by 2 each time. Ex. 1+1=2 2+3=5 3+5=8
