Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:

5x = 8y

x - y = 150

Let's solve the first equation for x:

x = 8y/5

Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:

(8y/5) - y = 150

Simplify:

3y/5 = 150

3y = 750

y = 250

If y = 250, then x is:

x = 8(250)/5 = 400

The answer is 250 and 400.

tino4ka555 [31]
Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2

120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2

(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8
