4.2x - 1.4y = 2.1
-1.4y = -4.2x + 2.1
y = (-4.2/-1.4)x + 2.1/-1.4
y = 3x - 1.5 <==
Answer:
11.33 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle for the given scenario is drawn below.
From the triangle ΔABC, AB is the length of the ladder, B is the foot of the ladder, AC is the wall, BC is the distance of the foot from the wall, and angle B is the angle of elevation of the ladder with ground.
Let the length of the ladder,
As per question, BC = 6.5 ft, °
Using cosine ratio of the angle B, we get
Therefore, the length of the ladder is 11.33 ft.

Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Yes they would be opposites
