The two numbers are 30 and 36. I know this because when I did 10 and 16, I realized that if I went up 10 for each number, the sum would go up by 20. So I did 20 and 26, and got 46. Then I did 30 and 36, and the sum was 66.
It might be helpful too to write out the equation. x plus x + 6 = 66; that means to solve for x we solve: 2x + 6 = 66: or x = 30; if we know x (30) then we know the other number (x + 6) = 36. I find it helps to put the equation together with a single unknown variable. When you solve for x; you also find the other variable, because you’ve expressed it in terms of x; (x + 6)
It means that you take a triangle and make another one but this time it is not the same size of the first one but the same shape. In other words make it bigger or smaller than the first one.
