X = larger number, y = smaller number

x + y = 75
x = 3y + 11

3y + 11 + y = 75
4y + 11 = 75
4y = 75 - 11
4y = 64
y = 64/4
y = 16 <=== ur smaller number

x = 3y + 11
x = 3(16) + 11
x = 48 + 11
x = 59...ur larger number

I dont know how to find a .

mina [271]

To find a,construct a line that parallel to AB and DE cutting c, which you could refer to the photo((sorry for my terrible diagram ^^;;

from the photo,we can see that
a= <BCG + <GCE

<BCG=44° (alt.<, AB//FG)
<GCE=20° (alt<, FG//DE)

thus,a= 44°+20° =64°

hope it helps!
