Accurate measurement

A)26•2=52there are 2 sides with the same length116-52=64the other 2 side have to be half of 64 each64/2=32the width is 32b)make two sentences about these steps because your teacher knows how you write and explain things.

2(10 - 13x) + 9x = -34x + 6020 - 26x + 9x = -34x + distributive property-17x = -34x + subtraction property (subtracted 20 from both sides)17x = addition property (added 34x to both sides)x = 40/ division property (divided both sides by 17)

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
