Answer:

28 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we are given that the sum of two numbers is 64. Based on this, we know that we are going to be adding because the question said "the sum of two numbers is 64." Sum is the answer to an addition problem. Lets write an equation.

We need a variable, let x be the variable which is the value of the smaller number.

the equation is x+x+8=64

x= to the smaller number

x+8= to the number that is eight more than x or the smaller number.

Before we isolate for x, we need to simplify the expression by combining the like terms.

x plus x equals 2x.

Therefore, we have 2x+8=64.

Our goal is to isolate x, so we need to subtract 8 from both sides. 8 mius 8 is 0, and 64 mius 8 is 56.

Now, we have 2x=56.

We still need to isolate x by dividing both sides by 2. 2 divided by 2 is 1, so we are left with 1x or x. 56 divided by 2 is 28.

x=28.

Great, we found what x or the smaller value is.

Now, we need to find the larger number.

Substitute x as 28 into x+8 to find the number that is 8 more than the smaller number or x. You'll then get 36. If you add 36 and 28, you get 64. Also, 36 is 8 more than 28, so this answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.

<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>

The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.

Data;

  • Length = 9in
  • Area = 45in^2
  • width = ?
  • length 2 = 4in
  • width 2 = 3in

area = length * width

In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as

A = length * width\\width = \frac{area}{length} \\width = \frac{45}{9} \\width = 5in

We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.

But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area

The area of the second gauze is given by

a = 3 * 4 = 12in^2

From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
