Answer:

The smaller number is 5.

The bigger number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and the bigger number be x+10.

x+x+10 = 4x

2x+10 = 4x

10 = 4x-2x

2x = 10

x = 10÷2

= 5

x+10 = 5+10

= 15

What is the value of x? enter your answer into the box.

poizon [28]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBRD and ΔQCD are similar, hence the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{BD}{QD}$ = $\frac{RD}{CD}$

note that BD = 26 + 39 = 65

substitute values into the ratio equation

$\frac{65}{39}$ = $\frac{x+18}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

65x = 39(x + 18)

65x = 39x + 702 ( subtract 39x from both sides )

26x = 702 ( divide both sides by 26 )

x = 27
