Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

42           50

------ = ----------

42+63        50+x

42           50

------ = ----------

105          50+x

Using cross products

42(50+x) = 50*(105)

2100+42x = 5250

Subtract 2100 from each side

2100-2100+42x = 5250-2100

42x =3150

Divide by 42

42x/42 = 3150/42

x = 75

the difference between 2 whole numbers is 66. the ratio of the 2 numbers is 2:5, what are the 2 numbers​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

44 and 110

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 2 : 5 = 2x : 5x ( x is a multiplier ) , thus

difference = 5x - 2x = 3x , then

3x = 66 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 22

Thus

2x = 2 × 22 = 44

5x = 5 × 22 = 110

The 2 numbers are 44 and 110
