This pattern appears to alternate between doubling and subtracting by 1.
To get from 3 to 6, we multiply by two.
To get from 6 to 5, we subtract one.
To get from 5 to 10, we multiply by two.
To get from 10 to 9, we subtract one.
To get from 9 to 18, we multiply by two.
To get from 18 to 17, we subtract one.
Therefore, next we need to multiply by two.
17 x 2 = 34
So, the next number is 34.
To find the number after, we subtract one.
34 - 1 = 33
Thus, the number after is 33.
In conclusion, the next two numbers are 34 and 33.
Answer: 21 & 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of two numbers is 39
Difference is 3
Let the numbers be x & y
X+y=39........equation 1
X-y=3...........equation 2
X=3+y............equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 1
(3+y)+y=39
3+y+y=39
3+2y=39
2y=39-3
2y=36
Y=36/2
Y=18
Substitute for y in equation 2
X-y=3
X-18=3
X=3+18
X=21
The two numbers are 21 & 18

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.
let the other 2 sides be x and x - 3 , then
12 + x + x - 3 = 31
2x + 9 = 31 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11 and x - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8
The 3 sides are 12, 11, 8
with shortest side 8
