We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

3x+4=-5x-3+15, what are some of the steps that should be taken to solve for x? Select all that apply.
tino4ka555 [31]
3x+4=-5x-3+15
First combine like terms:
3x+4=-5x+12
Get x on one side:
3x+4=-5x+12
-3x -3x
4=-8x+12
Next get x by itself:
4=8x+12
-12 -12
-8=8x
Now divide one more time to get x by itself since 8x is 8 times x and we must do the opposite (÷).
-8/8=8x/8
-1=x ---> x=1

What equation has a slope of 2 and goes through the point (3, 2)?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll write our equation in y = mx + b form, with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept. We already know our slope, so we can replace m with 2 like this: y = 2x + b. But we don't know what b is. We can use the point (3, 2) to figure out b's value, since it has an x-value (3) and a y-value (2):

2 = 2(3) + b

2 = 6 + b

-4 = b

So we have y = 2x + (-4), or y = 2x - 4.

Hopefully that was helpful! If you have more questions, let me know.

Five-sevenths of a number is -35. what is the number?
White raven [17]
So lets write this equation out.  Let x be that number we are trying to find. 

So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this 

5/7 

when you see the word "of" that means multiplication 

so we can write the full equation. 

(5/7)x = -35 

now we can solve 

Multiply both sides by 7 

5x = -245

now divide by 5 
and we get 

x = -49
