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.

3. A ladder is placed 5ft away from a building. The ladder comes up to 12 ft on the side of the
irina [24]

Answer:

13 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse, the distance away from the building is the short leg, and the height to the side of the building is the long leg.

Use the pythagorean theorem, and solve for c, the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

5² + 12² = c²

25 + 144 = c²

169 = c²

13 = c

So, the ladder is 13 feet long
