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.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

2/x = 576

you have to make the x by itself so you would have to multiply 1/2 to 2/x for the first part

then you would carry the 1/2 over to 576 and multiply that by 1/2

the answer would become x = 288
