The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The plumbers cost would be equal to the equation 80+45x=y with y being the total amount of money he made and x being how many hours he worked.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation to find the amount the plumber was paid all you need to do is plug in the amount of hours he worked for x.

If the plumber worked his maximum of 8 hours then the equation would change from 80+45x=y to 80+(45×8)=440.

So, if the plumber worked for 8 hours he would make $440.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

w+d≥14

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question

Morgan is working two summer jobs, washing cars and walking dogs. She must work no less than 14 hours altogether between both jobs in a given week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours washing cars, w, and the number of hours walking dogs, d, that Morgan can work in a given week.

Morgan must not work less than 14 hours. This means that the least amount of hours she can work would be 14 hours. This would be represented by the greater to or equal to sign (≥)

So the time she would spend working = w+d≥14

-3B+5=13<br> How do I solve for B
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b = -2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 5 from both sides:

-3b + 5 (-5) = 13 (-5)

-3b = 13 - 5

-3b = 8

Next, divide -3 from both sides:

(-3b)/-3 = (8)/-3

b = -8/3

b = -2 2/3
