The larger of two numbers is eight more than three times the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 48. Find the two numbers

the smaller number is 8. The larger number is 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

The The larger of the two numbers is eight more than three times the smaller number. It means that the larger number is 3x + 8

The sum of the two numbers is 48. It means that

x + 3x + 8 = 48

4x + 8 = 48

4x = 48 - 8 = 40

x = 40/4 = 10

Substituting x = 10 into 3x + 8, it becomes

3 × 10 + 8 = 38

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
