The sum of two numbers is 981. One of the numbers is 703. What is the other number?

Other number is 278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

a + b = 981

One of the numbers = 703

We assume that it is a ; So

a = 703

Other number = b = ?

Put value of a in a + b

a + b = 981

703 + b = 981

b = 278

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
