the ratio of two no is 3:5, and their difference is 46. find the larger no.
\n" ); document.write( "let x=larger no.
\n" ); document.write( "y=smaller no.
\n" ); document.write( "3/5=y/x
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=46
\n" ); document.write( "y=x-46
\n" ); document.write( "3/5=(x-46)/x
\n" ); document.write( "3x=5x-230
\n" ); document.write( "2x=230
\n" ); document.write( "x=115
\n" ); document.write( "larger no.=115 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
