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:
8.5x10^-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal over between the 8 and the 5, it "hops" 5 times. Since it moved over right, make it negative
LW = 45
L + 2W = 19
L = 19-2W
substituting for L :-
W(19-2W) = 45
-2W^2 + 19W = 45
2W^2 - 19W + 45 = 0
W = 5 or 4.5
If W = 5, L = 9
If W = 4.5, L = 10
So there are 2 possible answers.
