X+y = 42
x-y = 8
x = 8+y

Substitute it in 1st equation,
8+y+y=42
2y = 34
y = 17

Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 42-17 = 25

So, the two numbers are 25 & 17

Hope this helps!

The legs of an iscosceles triangle have lengths 3x-1 and -x +27. The base has length 5x+1. What is the length of the base
asambeis [7]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs are given to be :

3x - 1 and -x + 27

The base = 5x + 1

One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that

3x - 1 = - x + 27

3x + x = 27 + 1

4x = 28

x = 7

To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is

Length of the base = 5(7) + 1

L = 35 + 1

L = 36
