Answer:
25 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we were given two parts to be in ratio 5:3
the first number is then 5x , and second number 3x
Note that the second number is more than the first so it becomes
3x + 10
5x = 3x +10, 5x - 3x = 10
2x = 10, x = 5
from the question, we find the two parts ;
the first number would be 5x
5 x 5 = 25
and second number, 3x = 3x 5 = 15
so the two numbers are 25 and 15.. 25 + 15 = 40
