Let the two numbers are x and y

Let larger number = x

and smaller number = y

it means

x-y = 0.77

Now it says larger number is increased 5 times

So it now becomes 5x

So second equation becomes

5x -y =77

Now we have to solve these two equations

x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77

multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations

-x+y = -0.77

Now on adding we get

-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77

4x = 76.23

Divide both sides by 4

x=19.0575

We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number

y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875

y=18.2875


Hence the larger number = 19.0575

Smaller number = 18.2875

KatRina [158]
The correct answer for the given problem above would be the fourth triangle. So here is the given solution: Since Triangle 1 is already given with a measurement of 50 inches, and 80% of 50 inches if 40. Triangle 2 then is 40 inches. 80% of 40 is 32, so triangle 3 is 32 inches, and then 80% of 32 is 25.6 inches so triangle 4 is 25.6 inches. Therefore, the triangle that will first have a side length of less than 29 inches is triangle 4.
