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.

Art [367]

Answer:

d) 135º

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the angle DCU is the sum of the angles DCB and BCU. The angle DCB is 90º because A B C D is a square, then all its angles are equal to 90º.

After attaching B U C to A B C D, we obtain a trapezoid A U C D. Since A U C D has at least one pair of parallel sides, then AU should be parallel to CD, thus the angle CBU must be 90º.

B U C is isoceles, so we conclude that other two angles must have the same size, and due to the sum of the angles of a triangle being 180º, then both BUC and BCU are equal to 45º

As a result, the angle DCU is equal to 90º+45º = 135º. Option d is the correct one.
