Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, since the angles are in degrees.
Answer: 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Pythagorean theorem,
Answer:
6x + 2 ( x - 4) = 8 + 4 ( x + 2)
6x + 2x - 8 = 8 + 4x + 8
<em><u>Arranging</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>like</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>terms</u></em><em><u> </u></em>
6x + 2x - 4x = 8 +8 - 8
8x - 4x = 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
