|RZ|=0.5|SW| therefore 2|RZ|=|SW|.
5x - 20 = 2 · 30
5x - 20 = 60 |add 20 to both sides
5x = 80 |divide both sides by 5
x = 16
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
40x - 2 because you combine like terms so it's 40x and then combine 8 and -10
Answer: EP is 12 and EO is about 10.91.
To find the length of EP, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem with the 2 legs of the right triangle it would form, EC and CP. CP would be 5 because it is the midpoint of the side.
5^2 + (EP)^2 = 13^2
EP = 12
Now, to find EO, we write and solve another Pythagorean Theorem equation using 12 for EP.
5^2 + (EO)^2 = 12^2
EO equals the square root of 119 or about 10.91.
