Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building

Ethan has 3/4 of a box of cereal. He gives 1/8 of the box to his little brother and Ethan eats 1/4 of the box, himself. What fra
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

<em>3/8 of the box cereal</em>

Step-by-step explanation: First you must convert 3/4, 1/8, and 1/4 so they have to same denominator. Four can go into eight two times, so you must multiply the numerator by two. So your new fractions are 6/8, 1/8, and 2/8. Now you must subtract 1/8 and 2/8 from 6/8. When you subtract 1/8 from 6/8 you get 5/8. Now subtract 2/8 from 5/8 and you get <em>3/8. </em>That is how you get the answer, I hope this helps you.

If solving for x you will first need to combine like terms. Then after getting the amount of numbers and amount of x numbers you will divide the x number from both. After doing that you would get X=-10

Answer:

y = -6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

The line pictured goes down 6 for each 1 it moves to the right, slope is rise over run, in this case, -6/1 or just -6

The y-intercept is the point that the function crosses the y-axis, in this case 2

Plug those in to get:

y = -6x + 2
