Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5

What is common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 2,8,14,20,26

aniked [119]

The difference is 6. Each number increases by 6 in the sequence.
2 + 6 = 8
8 + 6 = 14
14 + 6 = 20
20 + 6 = 26
Etc.
I would really appreciate it if I could get brainliest. Thanks!! =D

Is 2.34 a rational number?

Musya8 [376]

yes

A rational number is a number which can be expressed in the form

$\frac{a}{b}$ where a and b are integers

now 2. 34 = 2 $\frac{34}{100}$ = $\frac{234}{100}$ → a rational number
