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

I need this problem solved real quick

PIT_PIT [208]

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

The ;unlabeled angle' adjacent to the 'outside angle of measure 78°'

⇒ is on a straight line

⇒ sum of angle measure = 180 degrees

$unlabeled_.angle+78 = 180\\unlabeled_.angle = 102$

Now we know:

⇒ sum of all angles in a triangle ⇒ 180°

Let's put that in equation form and solve:

$x + 102 + 57=180\\x + 159=180\\x = 21$

Answer: 21°

Hope that helps!

Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer.

nadezda [96]

You just have to add one eqaution to another :
-x + x -y + 2y = 7 + 7
y = 14
Then apply y = 14 to one of the equations :
eg: x + 2(14) = 7
x + 28 = 7
x = - 21
The awnser is x= -21 y= 14
I hope i awnsered your question
