Answer:

32, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Call one number (the larger one)  "x"

The other number (smaller one) is " x - 5"

As per the given information;

x + x - 5 = 59

Inverse operations;

x + x - 5 = 59

        +5    +5

2x = 64

/2    /2

x = 32

Larger number= 32

Smaller numbers = x - 5 = 32 - 5 = 27

What is the answer to this
OleMash [197]
The smaller triangle is dilated by scale factor of 1.4
28 \div 20 = 1.4
so x will be :
48 \times 1.4 = 67.2
and y will be:
52 \times 1.4 = 72.8



good luck

If BC = 4x + 5 and AD = –3x + 26, find AD. A. 3 B. 17 C. 21 D. 31
Keith_Richards [23]
BC must be equal to AD, so 4x+5=-3x+26. You must get all common terms on one side, so 7x=21. then divide to get x alone, and x=3.
