Answer:
all work is answer and shown and pictured
The segment MN is equal in size to the segment JK, the segment NO is equal in size to the segment KL, the segment OP is equal in size to the segment LP.
<h3><u>The value of the smaller number is 31.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the larger number is 43.</u></h3>
y = 12 + x
y + x = 74
Since we have a value for y, we can plug it into the second equation
12 + x + x = 74
Subtract 12 from both sides.
x + x = 62
Combine like terms.
2x = 62
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 31
Now that we have a value of x, we can plug it into the original equation to get a value for y.
y = 12 + 31
y = 43
I think the root of "3x + 1 = 7" is 2...
