Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the smaller of the two numbers, and since the other number is 5 more than twice the smaller number n, then ...
Let 2n + 5 = the second and larger number.
Since the sum of the two unknown numbers is 26, then we can write the following equation to be solved for n as follows:
n + (2n + 5) = 26
n + 2n + 5 = 26
Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:
3n + 5 = 26
3n + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5
3n + 0 = 21
3n = 21
(3n)/3 = 21/3
(3/3)n = 21/3
(1)n = 7
n = 7
Therefore, ...
2n + 5 = 2(7) + 5
= 14 + 5
= 19
CHECK:
n + (2n + 5) = 26
7 + (19) = 26
7 + 19 = 26
26 = 26
Therefore, the two desired numbers whose sum is 26 are indeed 7 and 19.
X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes
x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60
i am pretty sure it is 0.6
The equation be 50x = 17 then the value of x = 17/50.
<h3>How to find the value of x?</h3>
To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.
Let the equation be 50x = 17
Diving both sides of the equation by 50, we get
50x/50 = 17/50
x = 17/50
Therefore, the value of x = 17/50.
