First number = X
second number = x +26 ( exceeds means higher so add 26)
x + x+26 = 58
combine like terms:
2x + 26 = 58
subtract 26 from each side:
2x = 58-26
2x = 32
divide both sides by 2:
x = 32/2
x = 16
first number is 16
second number = 16+26 = 42
If it is 5+2x=2x+6 than the answer is no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
"Solutions to the equation" just means that they are points on the line. To find out if these two points land on this line, plug each one in, like this:
1.5 = (1/4)(1) + (5/4)
1.5 = (1/4) + (5/4)
1.5 = (6/4)
1.5 = 1.5
Since the expression is true, this point is on the line.
Do the same process for the second point (remember a point is formatted (x,y)) and see if it is also a point on the line.
To find the x-intercept, simply plug in 0 for y and see what you get. It should look like (x,0).
