Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m =  the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
 
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36

Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36

Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0

Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.

The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. Find the scale factor. Find the value of x. Find the value of y.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale is 2, the side of x needs to 4 because the corresponding side on the other figure is 2 (2 * 2 = 4).

So, x - 1 = 4

x = 5

Similar to the y side, the y side needs to be 10.

So, y + 1 = 10

y = 9
