<PRE><B>Question 190412</B>
The ratio of two numbers is 3:4. 
Let the numbers be 3x and 4x
--------------------------------------

Their sum is to the sum of their squares as 7 is to 50. Find the numbers.
Equation:
(3x+4x)/((3x)^2+(4x)^2) = 7/50
7x/25x^2 = 7/50
x/25x^2 = 1/50
1/25x = 1/50
x = 2
----------
One number is 3x = 6
The other is 4x = 8
========================
