X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11

How many triangles can be formed with segments measuring 4. 7 m, 1. 6 m, and 2. 9 m? none one more than one.

Svet_ta [14]

The sum of the length of the two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. None of the triangles is formed. Then option A is correct.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

Triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three angles. The sum of the angle of the triangle is 180 degrees.

The sides of the triangle are 4.7 m, 1.6 m, and 2.9 m.

The condition will be

$1.6 + 2.9 \ngtr 4.7$

We know that the sum of the length of two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Hence, none of the triangles is formed.

Thus, option A is correct.
