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.
Hope this helps :)
It is not parallel. The fact that there is more space between the lines on one side than the other (mk is shorter than nL) shows that the lines must be angled differently, and thus, would eventually intersect.
From what I can deduce, using the Unit Price is the best way to compare the cost of two different sizes in items. It would depend on the price of the Item per units to justify buying the larger item over the smaller item and the opposite is true as well. I hope this is helpful.
For the given triangle, the value of x equals 30.9892 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the triangle, the angle is 40°, the opposite side has a length of 26 units, the adjacent side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse is not given.
To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the tan of the given triangle.
To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the the adjacent side's length.
Step 2:
The length of the opposite side = 26 units.
The length of the adjacent side = x units.
So x measures 30.9892 units.
