The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. the sum of the two numbers is 38. find the numbers.

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
