and the second number were to increase by 1/6 of it, their sum would be equal to 59. Find the two numbers.
PLZ explain too.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {-\frac{12}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following expression:

$(-\frac{2}{3})^{7} \times (\frac{3}{5})^{6} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Calculate $-\frac{2}{3}$ to the power of $7$ :

$(-\frac{2}{3})^{7} \times (\frac{3}{5})^{6} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{128}{2187} \times (\frac{3}{5})^{6} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Calculate $\frac{3}{5}$ to the power of $6$ :

$-\frac{128}{2187} \times (\frac{3}{5})^{6} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{128}{2187} \times (\frac{729}{15625}) \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Multiply both $-\frac{128}{2187}$ and $\frac{729}{15625}$ :

$-\frac{128}{2187} \times (\frac{729}{15625}) \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{128}{46875} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Calculate $\frac{5}{6}$ to the power of $5$ :

$-\frac{128}{46875} \times (\frac{5}{6})^{5} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{128}{46875} \times (\frac{3125}{7776}) \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Multiply both $-\frac{128}{46875}$ and $\frac{3125}{7776}$ :

$-\frac{128}{46875} \times (\frac{3125}{7776}) \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{4}{3645} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

-Calculate $\frac{1}{3}$ to the power of $-7$ :

$-\frac{4}{3645} \times (\frac{1}{3})^{-7}$

$-\frac{4}{3645} \times 2181$

-Multiply both the $-\frac{4}{3645}$ and $2187$ :

$-\frac{4}{3645} \times 2181$

$\boxed {-\frac{12}{5}}$

Therefore, the final answer is $-\frac{12}{5}$ .

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
