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.
Hope this helps :)
Using proportions, considering the cost of the taxi per mile, it is found that Gary traveled 9.375 miles, not including the first.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the company charges 2.95 for the first mile and $0.3 per each 1/8 mile next = $2.4 per mile. After the first mile, he was charged a total of $25.45 - $2.95 = $22.5. Hence the number of miles is given by:
22.5/2.4 = 9.375.

The equation that models the movement of the object is:

Where,
t: time
a: acceleration due to gravity
v0: initial speed
h0: initial height
Suppose that the object falls with zero initial velocity and from a height of 38 feet.
The equation that models the problem is:
Answer:
If an object is dropped from a height of 38 feet, the function h (t) = -16t2 + 38 gives the height of the object after seconds
