Answer:

<h3> The numbers are 20 and 28</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the other number (the smaller one)

x+8 - 8 more than the other number (the larger number)

$\dfrac{x+8}x=\dfrac75\\\\(x+8)\cdot5=x\cdot7\\\\5x+40=7x\\^{\quad-40\qquad-40}\\{}\quad5x = 7x-40\\^{\quad-7x\quad-7x}\\-2x=-40\\^{\div(-2)\quad\div(-2)}\\{}\ \ x=20\\\\x+8=28$

Describe the sequence of transformations that demonstrates the congruence between triangle ABC and triangle A´B´C´.

Reflecting over the x axis means to perform the following tranformation:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

So, you maintain the x coordinate, and change the sign of the y coordinate. The vertices become

$A=(-4, 4)\to \hat{A} = (-4,-4),\quad B=(-2, 3)\to \hat{B} = (-2,-3),\quad C=(0, 7) \to \hat{C}=(0,-7)$

Translating 3 units to the left means to perform the following transformation:

$(x,y) \to (x-3,y)$

So, you maintain the y coordinate, and decrease the x coordinate by 3. The vertices become

$\hat{A} = (-4,-4) \to (-7,-4),\quad \hat{B} = (-2,-3)\to (-5,-3),\quad \hat{C}=(0,-7)\to (-3,-7)$

So, as you can see, after these two transformation, the vertices A, B and C become A', B' and C'.
