Th sum of three numbers is 64. The second number is 3 more than the first. The third number is

ladessa [460]

<span>Three numbers can be defined as x, y, and z.
x + y + z = 64
y = x+3
z = 2x - 11
.
substitute for y and z
x + (x+3) + (2x-11) = 64
4x -8 = 64
4x = 72

x = 18
.
y = x+3 = 21
z = 2x -11 = 2(18) -11 = 36-11 = 25
.
x + y + z = 18 + 21 + 25 = 64
Correct.
.
Answer: The three numbers are 18, 21, and 25.</span>

The two triangles are similar.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x=10

The two triangles are similar since each triangle is the same shape of right triangle but different sizes. To find x, write a proportion between two equal ratios of side lengths.

$\frac{28}{20}=\frac{4x+2}{3x}$
