Two numbers are in the ratio of 5:7. If 25 is subtracted from each number, they are in the ratio of 5:9. What are the two numbers?  Answers:  A) 45, 63  B) 50, 70  C) 55, 77  D) 60, 84  E) 65, 91
(5x-25):(7x-25) = 5y:9y   5x - 25 = 5y   7x - 25 = 9y   175-125 = 45y - 35y   50 = 10y   y = 5   5x-25 = 25   x = 10   The two numbers are 5x and 7x which are 50 and 70.   The answer is 50, 70.
