Two numbers are in the ratio of 5:7. If 7 is subtracted from each number, they are in the ratio of 2:3. What are the two numbers? Choices:
A) 35, 49
B) 40, 56
C) 45, 63
D) 50, 70
E) 55, 77
(5x-7):(7x-7) = 2y:3y   5x - 7 = 2y   7x - 7 = 3y   49-35 = 15y - 14y   14 = y   5x-7 = 28   x = 7   The two numbers are 5x and 7x which are 35 and 49.   The answer is 35, 49.
