inysia [295]
Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.

The sum of two numbers is 17, and their difference is 29. What are the two numbers?
serious [3.7K]
X + y = 17
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29

x = 17 - y 
- 2y = 29 - 17

x = 17 - y
-2y = 12

x = 17 - y 
y = -6

x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6

x = 17 + 6
y = -6

x = 23
y = -6
