Question

There are a pack of birds on one side of the tree and another pack of birds on the other side of the tree.

#1 one pack of birds says to the other pack of birds. "if one of you's comes to our side we will be double then you's in number". e.g ratio 1:2

and the second pack of birds reply, "if one of you's comes to our side we will be even in number" e.g ratio 1:1

Now what are these numbers?

meaning how many birds are there in one pack of birds compared to the other pack of birds on the others side,

i will add a hint later if no ones get it. ;)

Answer 1

x-1=(y+1) /2

x+1=y-1


2x-2=y+1
x-y=-2


2x-y=3
-x+y=2

x=5 y= 7

Answer 2

7 and 5

Answer 3

Hey I am happy to answer your question.

Let m solve this without using your Ratio clues...

Let me take the tfo flocks as X and Y .

The statement #2 says "The second pack of birds reply, "if one of you's comes to our side we will be even in number" e.g ratio 1:1"

which means X-1 = Y+1. or X = y+2;

Now from statement #1, Y = 5 and X = 7........

Try and post such qustions that helps me think evenin the net and I like it......
