Call the numbers x and y. According to the first sentence, x + y = 67. According to the second sentence, x = y + 5. You can combine these two equations to find the values of these variables:
x + y = 67
(y + 5) + y= 67
2y = 62
y = 31
You can use this to find x by plugging in y to either original equation:
x = y + 5
x = 31 + 5
x = 36
Multiple each term by 3X
(X-3)/3x (3x)+1 * (3X) = 27 (3X)
Simplify 4X -3= 81 X
Move x to the left side
-77X -3 =0
-77X = 3
X= - 77/3
Demical form : x= 0.038961
The answer is a^2 + b^2 = c^2... but that’s just the formula on how you would find it... the answer itself is 40.249 inches
