The sum of two numbers is 17 and their differance is 3

10 and 7 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and y, ATQ, x+y=17 and x-y=3, solving it we will get x=10 and y=7

The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 3.

Let's define the two numbers as x and y.

Sum of two numbers is 17

x + y = 17

Their difference is 3

x - y = 3

Solve for x

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y

now that we have x, substitued x into x - y = 3

x - y = 3

17 - y - y = 3

17 - 2y = 3

-2y = -14

y = 7

we have y, 7, now let's substitue that into one of the equations to find x

x - y = 3

x - 7 = 3

x -7 + 7 = 3 +7

x = 10

the numbers are 10 and 7

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
