Let the numbers are x and y.
Given: {tex}\frac{x}{y}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{4}{5}{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 5x = 4y
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 5x - 4y = 0 .......(1)
When 30 is subtracted from both x & y, the ratio becomes 1 : 2
{tex}{/tex}i.e. {tex}\frac{x - 30}{y - 30}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{1}{2}{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2x - 60 = y - 30
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2x - y - 30 = 0.........(2)
Thus the two linear equations are:
5x - 4y = 0 .......(1)
2x - y - 30 = 0.........(2)

Points Coordinate table for 5x - 4y = 0 is 

<th scope="row">x</th> <th scope="row">y</th>
0 4 8
0 5 10

Points Coordinate Table for 2x - y - 30 = 0 is 

<th scope="row">x</th> <th scope="row">y</th>
15 12 10
0 -6 -10


Graphical representation of pair of linear equations is shown in graph.
