<span>Let x be the second number.
Let 2x+7 be the first number.
x+2x+7=25
3x+7=25
3x=25-7
3x=18
x=18/3
x=6
2x+7=19
The two numbers are 19 and 6.</span>
8n+52=12(n+2)
distribute
8n+52 = 12n+24
subtract 8n from each side
52=4n +24
subtract 24 from each side
28 = 4n
divide by 4 on each side
7=n
From order of operations, we do multiply/divide first, then add/subtract. So:
(I assume that is 8 times 2, and 5 times x, solving for x)
6+8<span>⋅</span>2 = 5x
6 + 16 = 5x
22 = 5x
x = 22/5 (twenty two fifths)
Straight
Never ending (You can tell this as there are arrows on the ends)
On a diagonal with a negative slope
(2x-4)(x+5) expand with indicated multiplication
2x^2+10x-4x-20
2x^2+6x-20
