Answer: Your classmate incorrectly identified the sides that are proportional in the side-splitter theorem.
In this theorem, the segments formed on the traversal are proportional. However, in the diagram your friend is trying to prove that segments on the parallel lines are proportional. If he wanted to do that, he would need to have a different plan.
Answer:
The answer is 35 and 22
Because:
U let the numbers(#) be x and y (x will be the larger number and y the smaller number
So:
x + y =57
x = 2*y - 9
Therefore,
{2*y - 9} + y = 57
Leaving the two numbers 35 and 22
