Can you put more context?
<span>Let x=smaller number
Then x+5=larger number
Now we are told the following:
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number
x+5=10+5=15 larger number
CK
1/5(10+15)=10-5
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>
Answer:
area of pool = w(w+5) = w^2 + 5w square feet
Explanation:
The height of the pool is used as its width.
Assume that the width of the pool is w feet.
Now, we are given that the length of the pool is 5 feet longer than its width.
This means that:
length of the pool = w + 5 feet
The area of the rectangle is calculated as follows:
area = length * width
area = (w+5) * (w)
area = w^2 + 5w square feet
Hope this helps :)
1. 3/1
2. Will be positive. Aka always rational.
3. 3/1 + 3/1 = 6/2 = 3/1
40/16 = 24/x
16*24 = 384
x = 384 / 40
x =9.6
it cast a shadow 9.6 feet long
