Hello.

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

2x + 5 (-5) = 11 (-5)

Simplify

2x = 6

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

2x (/2) = 6 (/2)

x = 3

The unknown number in the equation is 3.

The difference of two numbers if four and their product is 60

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The two numbers are 10 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by calling these two numbers x and y, and setting up a system of equations.

x-y=4

x*y=60

Now, you can rearrange the first equation to find the value of x expressed through y.

x=y+4

Now, you can substitute this into the second equation.

(y+4)*y=60

y^2+4y=60

y^2+4y-60=0

(y-6)(y+10)=0

y=6

x=6+4=10

Hope this helps!

A radio transmission tower is 190 feet tall. How long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 13 feet from the top and is t

White raven [17]

Answer:

$343.66m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the diagram attached

|AC| is the length of the radio transmission tower

If the wire is attached 13 feet from the top, at point B, |BC|=177cm and the wire is attached at point D on the ground

In Triangle BCD,

$Sin \alpha = \frac{|BC|}{|BD|}$

$Sin 31 = \frac{177}{|BD|}$

Cross multiplying

$|BD| X sin 31 = 177\\|BD|=\frac{177}{Sin 31} =343.66m$
