Answer:28 STEP BY STEP EXPLAINATION: Let the number be 5x and 7x. So, 5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56 12x + 8 = 56 12x = 56 – 8 12x = 48 X = 48/12 X = 4 So, 5x = 4 * 5 = 20 7x = 4 * 7 = 28 Hope it helps…!! Reply
Answer:28
STEP BY STEP EXPLAINATION:
Let the number be 5x and 7x.
So,
5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56
12x + 8 = 56
12x = 56 – 8
12x = 48
X = 48/12
X = 4
So, 5x = 4 * 5 = 20
7x = 4 * 7 = 28
Hope it helps…!!
