Answer:
12 1/3
Answer:
The two numbers are -164 and -287
They could also be 164 and 287
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of 2 numbers 4/7
x/y = 4/7
Using cross products
7x =4y
Their difference is 123
x-y = 123
x = 123+y
Substituting in
7(123+y) =4y
Distribute
861 +7y = 4y
Subtract 7y from each side
861 +7y-7y = 4y-7y
861 = -3y
Divide each side by -3
861/-3 = -3y/-3
-287 = y
Now we need to find x
x = 123+y
x = 123+ -287
x = -164
The numbers could also be 164 and 287
The difference is 287-164 = 123
And the ratio is 164/287 = 4/7
