Answer:
The first number is 20, the second one is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second number be y 
Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9
It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31 
here are the two equations: 
x-y=9
x+y=31
You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination 
add the two equations
x-y=9
x+y=31
2x=40 
divide by 2
x=20
Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations
20+y=31
subtract 20 from both sides
y=11
That means the two numbers are 20 and 11
Hope this helps!

Answer:
7/20 is the scale factor
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that Hexagon JKLMNO is bigger than Hexagon  PQRSTU. This means that the scale factor is less than one. 
LK is similar to QR.
QR/LK
7/20 is the scale factor.
