Answer:

A= 10, B= 22

Explanation:

A +B= 32 -----(1)

A: B= 5: 11

Rewriting the above ratio as a fraction:


(A)/(B) = (5)/(11)

Multiply both sides by B:


A = (5)/(11)B -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):


(5)/(11)B + B = 32


(16)/(11) B = 32


B = 32 / (16)/(11)


B = 32 * (11)/(16)

B= 22

Substitute B= 22 into (1):

A +22= 32

A= 32 -22

A= 10
