HELP HELP HELP HELP One number is 8 more than another, and their sum is 80. What is the smaller number?

34
36
38
40

Work Shown:

x = smaller number

x+8 = larger number, since it's 8 more than the smaller value

Add up those two expressions, and set the sum equal to 80.

Then solve for x.

x+(x+8) = 80

2x+8 = 80

2x = 80-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 72

x = 72/2 divide both sides by 2

x = 36

The smaller value is 36 while the larger value is x+8 = 36+8 = 44

Note how 36+44 = 80 to help verify the answer.

34.

Step-by-step explanation:

80 = (34 + 8) + x

80 = 42 + x

38 = x

^^ that is an answer, but the question asks for the SMALLER number... Which is up at the beginning of my equation.

I hope this helps. I'm not entirely sure if it's correct, but it's worth a shot... lol

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
