Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing
slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance
2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot
slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9
the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level, 1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically
If that number is x:
120 = 1.60x
x = 120/1.60=75
Answer:
Using a rule is direct and not time wasting, which is not the case for listing functions
So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
