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:

First choice: m = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation is already solved for n, so lets's use the substitution method and substitute m - 2 for n in the first equation.

m - 2n = 8

m - 2(m - 2) = 8

m - 2m + 4 = 8

-m + 4 = 8

-m = 4

m = -4

ANSWER PLEASE 40 POINTS!
tangare [24]

Answer: |10 - (-8)|  

The absolute value is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.

10 - (-8)  Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive

10 + 8 = 18

If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"
