Step-by-step explanation:

Let, 1st number be x and 2nd number be y

Then,

equation 1

x = 16+y

equation 2

x + y = 120

or, y = 120 - x

now,

x = 16 + y

or, x= 16 + 120 - x (putting the value of y from equation 2 )

or, x + x = 136

or, 2x =136

or, x= 136/2

or, x =68

Then,

y = 120-x

or, y= 120- 68 (putting the value of x)

or, y= 52

Hence, the two numbers are 68 and 52.

posledela

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the sphere = 2πr²

Total surface area of the cylinder = 2πr²+2πrh

Total surface area of the solid = 4πr²+2πrh

r is the radius of the sphere and the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

Total surface area of the solid = 2πr(r+h)

If the total height of the solid is 18 cm, then r+h = 18cm

Given the Total surface area of the solid = 205π cm

205π = 2πr(r+h)

205π = 2πr(18)

205π = 36πr

205 = 36r

Divide both sides by 36

205/36 = 36r/36

r = 5.69cm

Since  r+h = 18cm

5.69+h = 18

h = 18-5.69

h = 12.31cm
