One number exceeds another by 26. the sum of the numbers is 58. what are the numbers

1 answer:

5 0

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

Answer:

{-infinity, infinity}

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| +15≥4

Subtract 15 from each side

|x| +15-15≥4-15

|x| ≥-11

This is always true so x can be and real number

{-infinity, infinity}

-2|5x+3| = 8

Divide by -2

-2/-2|5x+3| = 8/-2

|5x+3| = -4

This can never happen because absolute values are zero or greater

Answer:

I don't know if this is correct but wouldn't it be 560?

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 10 on one side, you divide 10 by 1/4 to get 40. So you need 40 blocks to fill one side, and 3 1/2 on the other only needs 14. 14*40=560.
