Answer:

LARGER NUMBER IS 15 AND SMALLER NUMBER IS 9

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE LARGER NUMBER BE X AND SMALLER BE Y

X + Y = 24 …….1

X = 6 + Y …… 2

WE SOLVE SIMULTANOUSLY  

SUBTRACTNG EQATION 2 FROM 1

X – X  + Y – (-Y) = 24 – 6

Y + Y = 18

2Y = 18

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2

2Y/2 = 18/2

Y = 9

THEN PUTTING Y = 3 IN EQUATION  2

X = 9 + 6

X = 15

Which statement is true?​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well as you can see these are both rectangles. So the first thing that we would do is divide 27 by 9.

This would equal 3.

Then we do the same with the longer side which is 33 divided by 11.

So now we know the scale factor or dilation of 3.

So now we can conclude that these shapes are similar.

Because C is the only answer that says that these shapes are similar C would be your final answer.
