A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than other part. If the two parts are in the ration of 5:3 , find the number and the two parts.
***
let x=one of two parts
x+10=other part
%28x%2B10%29%2Fx=5%2F3
5x=3x+30
2x=30
x=15
x+10=25
one of two parts=15
other part=25
number:2515 or 1525
