Two natural numbers differ by 1 and add to give 35. Find the smaller number. google it and answer will come, I just need answer pls.. It is blocked on my school chromebook soo...

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the numbers differ by 1, you can write the smaller number as x and the bigger one as x+1.

When you add them together you get 35: x+x+1=35

This simplifies to 2x+1=35.

When you solve you get 2x=34 so x=17.

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
