The average of two numbers is 7, and three times the difference between them is 18. Find the numbers. use the simultaneous equation plz guys

10 & 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are a and b.

Their average = 7

= > ( a + b ) / 2 = 7

= > a + b = 2 * 7 = 14 ...( 1 )

Also,

= > 3 times of difference between a and b = 18

= > 3( a - b ) = 18

= > a - b = 6 ... ( 2 )

adding ( 1 ) & ( 2 ) :

= > ( a + b ) + ( a - b ) = 14 + 6

= > 2a = 20

= > a = 10

Thus,

= > a + b = 14 → 10 + b = 14

= > b = 14 - 10 = 4

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
