<span>x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.</span>
The equation is b-a= 21;
2b-5a = 18
a=8 and b= 29
therefore 29-8= 21
2 (29) -5 (8) = 18
58-40=18
Sorry could you explain what you mean
