Answer:

8 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be l and s.

We have equations:

l = 5s + 18

3l + 4s = 16

Solve for s by substituting l into the second equation:

3(5s + 18) + 4s = 16

15s + 54 + 4s = 16

19s = 16 - 54

19s = -38

s = -38/19

s = -2

Find the value of l:

l = 5(-2) + 18

l = -10 + 18

l = 8

Lerok [7]
The angle immediately below x makes up the third angle of the isosceles triangle whose base angles are 55°. That third angle and x are "vertical" angles, hence equal. The value of x can be found from the sum of angles of a triangle:
  x + 55° + 55° = 180°
  x = 70°

The appropriate choice is the 2nd one:
  70°
