Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
7x + 8x = 45
15x = 45
x = 45/15
  = 3
Then the two numbers are
7x :8x
7 * 3:8 * 3
21: 24
Then the two numbers are 21 and 24. I hope the procedure in which the problem is done is clear to you. This is a simple but effective way of solving such problems. In future this method will make you confident about solving these kind of problems.

Add the total of the ratio.
7+8=15.

Then divide 45 by the total.
45/15=3

Now multiply the separate ratios (7 and 8) by 3.
7*3=21
8*3=24

The numbers: 21, 24

valentina_108 [34]
Even though im not giving you grapahs, I can explain you the situation and I can shed you light inot this. Pay attention. Giveen the data we are going to use it like this  <span>2.29x + 3.75y <= 7.00. Remember, you can't spend more money than 7.00, so whatever you buy has to be within 7.00$ or equal 7.00$. Since you're buying in pounds, and the amount varies, you have a variable there to indicate the price of each product depending on how many pounds of it you buy. Now, what you need to do is use this equation to graph and also solving part b by substituting in that value for y. I hope this can help you</span>
