Two numbers are in the ratio of 5:7. If 20 is subtracted from each number, they are in the ratio of 5:9. What are the two numbers? Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 35, 49
B) 40, 56
C) 45, 63
D) 50, 70
E) 55, 77
(5x-20):(7x-20) = 5y:9y   5x - 20 = 5y   7x - 20 = 9y   140-100 = 45y - 35y   40 = 10y   y = 4   5x-20 = 20   x = 8   The two numbers are 5x and 7x which are 40 and 56.   The answer is 40, 56.
