Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!
