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:
The ships are 66 meters apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B
As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.
The distance to the ship A is 
and it is given by
And the distance to the ship B is 
and is given by
Therefore, the distance 
between the ships A and B is
In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.
First of all, we know that a professional volleyball player can jump an average of 2.5 times higher than the average person which means that the player could jumps 2.5 times higher than the normal do. For example, if the normal people jumps 3 inches height, the professional player could jumps 2.5(3)=7.5 inches height. In this case, if an an average person can jump 2x inches high which leads to that the professional player could jumps 2.5(2x) higher. As a result, C is your final answer. Hope it help!
