First number = X
second number = x +26 ( exceeds means higher so add 26)
x + x+26 = 58
combine like terms:
2x + 26 = 58
subtract 26 from each side:
2x = 58-26
2x = 32
divide both sides by 2:
x = 32/2
x = 16
first number is 16
second number = 16+26 = 42
Answer:
A) 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
For a = <xa, ya> and b = <xb, yb>, the dot product is the sum of products ...
a·b = (xa)(xb) + (ya)(yb)
Substituting the given information, you have ...
a·b = 5·4 + 2·5 = 20 + 10
a·b = 30
_____
Some graphing calculators can do such math. There are also dot product calculators available on the Internet. If you have quite a few of these to calculate, you can put the appropriate formula into a spreadsheet.
