Answer:

<h3>            20 and 22</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two consecutive even integers  is 2

and even integer is always twice some integer

So:

2x   ← smaller of numbers

2x+2  ←  larger of numbers  

2×2x     ←  twice the smaller of numbers

3(2x+2)      ←  three  times the larger

3(2x+2)-26   ← 26 less than 3 times the larger

twice the smaller is  26 less than 3 times the larger:

3(2x+2) - 26 = 2×2x

6x + 6 - 26 = 4x

       +20         +20

6x - 4x = 20

       2x = 20

2x+2 = 20 + 2 = 22        

Check:   2×20=40; 40+26 = 66; 66÷3=22

The coordinates of Point S are (2/5, 9 1/8). The coordinates of Point T are (-5 7/10, 9 1/8). What is the distance between Point
m_a_m_a [10]

something noteworthy, the y-coordinate for each point is the same, 9⅛, that means is a horizontal line, over which the x-coordinates are at, so since it's a horizontal line, all we need to do is find, what's the distance between \bf \frac{2}{5}\textit{ and }-5\frac{7}{10}

of course, let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then check their difference.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{7}{10}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 10+7}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{57}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{2}{5}-\left[-\cfrac{57}{10} \right]\implies \cfrac{2}{5}+\cfrac{57}{10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(2)2+(1)57}{10}}\implies \cfrac{4+57}{10}\implies \cfrac{61}{10}\implies 6\frac{1}{10}

The height of the fence is irrelevant. The bottom of the ladder is 3+8 = 11 feet from the building. The window is 14ft above the ground:
sqrt(14^2+11^2) = length of your ladder.
