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.

HELP!!!! I’LL GIVE THE BRIANLIEST TO WHOEVER GETS IT RIGHT!!!!
Leto [7]

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

D is at (1,6) and C is at (-4,-6)

The distance is found by

d = sqrt(( y2-y1)^2+ (x2-x1)^2))

  = sqrt( ( -6-6)^2 + (-4-1)^2)

  = sqrt(  -12^2 + -5^2)

  = sqrt( 144+ 25)

   = sqrt( 169)

   = 13
