the numbers are n and 5/2 n
add them up to get 77:
n + 5/2 n = 77
7/2 n = 77
n = 22
the numbers are 22 and 55
add them up to get 77:
n + 5/2 n = 77
7/2 n = 77
n = 22
the numbers are 22 and 55

Let the two numbers be x and 2.5x. Their difference is 1.5x
3.5x = 77
x = 22
2.5x = 55
The difference is 1.5x = 33
Your answer is incorrect.
3.5x = 77
x = 22
2.5x = 55
The difference is 1.5x = 33
Your answer is incorrect.
