\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers \"x\" and \"y\" are such that the ratio between them is 3:5.
\n" ); document.write( " \"+x%2Fy+=+3%2F5\" or \"x+=+%283%2F5%29y\"
\n" ); document.write( "If one is added to the one and 7 is added to the other, ratio becomes 1:2.
\n" ); document.write( " \"%28+%283%2F5%29y+%2B+1%29%2F%28y%2B7%29+=+1%2Fhighlight%282%29\" |||Cross Multiplying to solve
\n" ); document.write( " (y+7) = (6/5)y + 2
\n" ); document.write( " 5 = (1/5)y
\n" ); document.write( " y = 25 and x = 15
