Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 3x + 4 = 5x - 8
  2. 3x - 5x = - 4 - 8
  3. - 2x = - 12
  4. x = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

==> add 8 to both sides

in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8

the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12

we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x

==> subtract 3x from both sides

in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x

the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x

we are left with 12 = 2x

==> divide both sides by 2

in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with

6 = x

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 2 feet from the base of the building. How far up the build
Svetlanka [38]
We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse 

x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x 

x^2+36=100 Square each individual term 

x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides 

x^2=64 Combine like terms 

sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides 

x = 8 Simplify the square root 

So our answer is x = 8 
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.
