Your friend is trying to see if you can guess the two numbers she csecrtely has written on her paper. Your friend tells you that 2 times the first number is 13 more than the second number . She also tells you that the sum of two numbers is 62

step-by-step explanation:

it's 15

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

t hope this
