Answer: 29 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since one number is 5 more than another
53-5 = 48
Then we divide that by two to get the value of one of the two numbers
48/2= 24
In order to get the number which is 5 more than the other, we add 5
24+5= 29
So the two numbers would be 29 and 24.
Check:
29+24= 53
Answer: 24 and 29
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent one of the numbers, then the other number is x + 5.
"sum" means to add them, so lets add x and x + 5 and set it equal to 53
x + x + 5 = 53
2x + 5 = 53 <em>simplified</em>
2x = 48 <em>subtracted 5 from both sides</em>
x = 24 <em>divided 2 from both sides</em>
So one of the numbers is 24. The other number is x + 5
= 24 + 5
= 29
5.4p +13.1 = −2.6p+3.5 .
5.4p + 2.6p = 3.5 -13.1
8.0p = -9.6
p = -9.6 / 8
p = -1.2
