Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the smaller of the two numbers, and since the other number is 5 more than twice the smaller number n, then ...
Let 2n + 5 = the second and larger number.
Since the sum of the two unknown numbers is 26, then we can write the following equation to be solved for n as follows:
n + (2n + 5) = 26
n + 2n + 5 = 26
Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:
3n + 5 = 26
3n + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5
3n + 0 = 21
3n = 21
(3n)/3 = 21/3
(3/3)n = 21/3
(1)n = 7
n = 7
Therefore, ...
2n + 5 = 2(7) + 5
= 14 + 5
= 19
CHECK:
n + (2n + 5) = 26
7 + (19) = 26
7 + 19 = 26
26 = 26
Therefore, the two desired numbers whose sum is 26 are indeed 7 and 19.
Make a word problem... I think.
Janie needs to knit 5 shirts. Maddy needs to make 12.5 shirts.They need to do this every day for 9.5 days. How many shirts in total (Maddy and Janie combined) do they make by the end of the 9.5 days?
Answer:
9.5 x (8 + 12.5)
9.5 x 20.5194.75 shirts in total
