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.

Whats an equation for (0,75) (7,40) in slope intercept form
Molodets [167]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

m - slope, b - y-intercept

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (0, 75) → y-intercept (b = 75), and (7, 40).

Substitute the coordimates of the points to the formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{40-75}{7-0}=\dfrac{-35}{7}=-5

<h3>Answer: y = -5x + 75.</h3>

Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.<br> X=-3+y<br> 26x - 5y = 6
labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution of the given system is (x,y) = (1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given system of equation is:

x  = -3 + y

26 x - 5 y =  6

Now, substitute x  = -3 + y in the second equation , we get

26 x - 5 y =  6  ⇒   26 (-3 + y) - 5 y =  6

or, 26(-3)  + 26(y)  - 5y = 6

⇒ - 78 + 26 y - 5y = 6

⇒   21 y =  84

⇒  y = 84 / 21 = 4   or ,   y =  4

So x  = -3 + y  =  -3 + 4 = 1

Hence, the solution of the given system is (x,y) = (1,4)
