Problem 11
<h3>Answer: h =
2A/b</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b
A = (1/2)*b*h
2A = b*h
b*h = 2A
h = 2A/b

Problem 12
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Equation: (n+2)/5 = 14
- Solution to that equation: n = 68
------------------
Explanation:
The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2
Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5
This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14
Solving the equation would look like this
(n+2)/5 = 14
n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5
n+2 = 70
n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides
n = 68
================================================
Problem 13
<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify
-2x + 5 > 13
-2*(-3) + 5 > 13
6 + 5 > 13
11 > 13
The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.
Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
Answer:
6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the right triangle formed by the wall, ladder and ground.
Let the distance the ladder is from the wall be d , then
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse ( ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides ( wall and d ), then
d² + 8² = 10²
d² + 64 = 100 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
d² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
d = 
= 6
That is the ladder is 6 feet away from the wall
(2-c,y) is the answer for the problem.
