Answer:

  23, 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then the larger is s+26, and the sum is ...

  s + (s+26) = 72

  2s = 72 -26

  s = (72 -26)/2 = 23

Then the larger number is

  s +26 = 49

The two numbers are 23 and 49.

_____

The reason we wrote the solution this way is to show you that the smaller number is half the difference between the given sum (72) and difference (26). This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem. The smaller number is always half the difference of the give sum and difference. (Similarly, the larger is always half the sum of the given sum and difference.)

That is, the two numbers are always half the sum ± half the difference:

  72/2 ± 26/2 = {36+13, 36-13} = {49, 23}

The area of the house is the amount of space on the house.

  • The length of the addition is x + 20
  • The area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200

<h3>The length of the addition</h3>

The area of the addition is given as:

Area = x^2 + 10x - 200

Expand

Area = x^2 + 20x - 10x - 200

Factorize

Area = x(x + 20) - 10(x + 20)

Factor out x + 20

Area = (x -10)(x + 20)

The width of the addition is x - 10.

Hence, the length of the addition is x + 20

<h3>The area of the original house</h3>

The dimension of the original house is

x + 20 by x + 10

So, the area is:

Area =(x + 20)(x + 10)

Expand

Area =x^2 + 20x + 10x + 200

This gives

Area =x^2 + 30x + 200

Hence, the area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200
