Answer:
15 and 35
Explanation:
If the ratio of two numbers is 3:7, then we can multiply the same factor by both numbers and continue to get the same ratio. For example, 3 x 2 = 6 and 7 x 2 = 14, the ration 6:14 can be simplified to 3:7. So, if we use the variable 'x' in the sum of the two numbers, we can solve for 'x' and find the two numbers:
3x + 7x= 50
Combine like terms: 10x = 50
Divide and solve for 'x': x = 5
3x = 3(5) = 15
7x = 7(5) = 35
15:35 = 3:7
