Let the first number be x, and the second 5x. The second is five times the first, so thats why it is 5x. Now, add x+5x=50. Simplify the equation to be 6x=50, because x+5x is 6x. Do the opposite of multiplyig because 6x is the same as 6 times x. Divide 6 on both sides. 50 divided by six is your first number (x). Now multiply your quotient by 5 to find the second number, and those are your two numbers.

Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.

x+5x=50

Combine like terms

6x = 50

Divide both sides by 6

x = 50/6 = 25/3 \approx 8.333

This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.

Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.

5x = 5(25/3) = 125/3 \approx 41.667

That's the value of the second number.

a 18 ft tall statue standing next to a globe casts a 12 ft shadow. Of the globe casts a shadow that is 2 ft ling, then how tall
Igoryamba
<h3>Answer:</h3>

3 ft

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The statue's height is 1.5 times the length of its shadow, so we expect the same relationship for the globe.

... 1.5 × 2 ft = 3 ft

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

As a practical matter, with the sun high enough in the sky to cast a shadow shorter than the object's height, it will be quite difficult to measure the length of the shadow of the point at the top of the globe. The shadow of other parts of the globe will interfere.
