Answer:

This question is not as hard as it seems.

Let the first number = x.

The other number will be x - 16.

The sum of both the number is 52.

So, x+x-16 = 52

Which would simplify to 2x -16 = 52.

When I add 16 to both sides, it would give me 2x = 68.

Then, divide both sides by 2.

This leaves us with x = 34.

Since we have x, now x-16 would be 34-16 = 18.

The two numbers are 34 and 18, this answer is correct because both of them add up to give me 52.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Solve for x . Leave your answer in the simplest form

Alisiya [41]

Hello!

Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.

I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.

The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.

This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$6^2+7^2=c^2$

$36+49=c^2$

$c^2=85$

$c=\sqrt{85}$

Which is in simplest radical form.

Hope this helps!
