In the smaller triangle, let 
be the length of the smallest leg. Then the smallest leg in the larger triangle is 
.
Within the scope of the smaller triangle, we have such that
Then within the larger the triangle, we would have
Now we can solve for 
:
Given Equations :
✿ 2x + y = 20 ------------------ [1]
✿ 6x - 5y = 12 ----------------- [2]
Multiplying Equation [1] with 5, We get :
⇒ 5(2x + y) = 5(20)
⇒ 10x + 5y = 100 -------------- [3]
Adding Equations [2] and [3], We get :
⇒ (10x + 5y) + (6x - 5y) = 100 + 12
⇒ 16x = 112
⇒ x = 7
Substituting x = 7 in Equation [1], We get :
⇒ 2(7) + y = 20
⇒ 14 + y = 20
⇒ y = 20 - 14
⇒ y = 7
So, The Solution for the Given System of Equations is : (x , y) = (7 , 7)
