If you add 2 odd numbers together eg. 5+5 it would become an even number eg. 10.

If you add 2 even numbers together eg. 60+60 it would stay as an even number eg.120.

The product is basically the same thing as that but instead of adding the same number twice, you multiplying the number with 2 which is the same as adding two of the same numbers.

One number exceeds another by 24. The sum of the numbers is 58. What are the numbers?

Anna35 [415]

X + x + 24 = 58
x = (58-24)/2=17
the first number is 17 and the second number is the sum of 17 and 28. Finding it has been left as an exercise for the reader.

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

x/a + b = c

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract b on both sides: x/a = c - b
Multiply a on both sides: x = a(c - b)
