Set up a triangle with the ladder being the hypotenuse the wall being one side and the distance away being the other side. Now use pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2
4^2+15^2=c^2
16+225=c^2
241=c^2
C=15.52 now round

Solve the equation by elimination
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(1,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -9x + 2.............equn(1)

y= -3x - 4..........................(2)

subtract equation (1) from equn. (2)

0= -6x + 6

subtract 6 from both sides

0-6= -6x + 6-6

-6 = -6x

divide via by -6

-6/-6 = -6x/-6

x=1

to solve for y, put x in any equation

equation (1)

y=-9x+2

y=-9(1)+2

y=-9+2

y= -7

On 5.899 how does the value of the 9 in the thousandths place compare with the value of the 9 in the hundredths place?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The 9 in the hundredths place is 10 times the 9 in the thousandths place

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to compare the value of 9 in the hundredth place and the value of 9 in the thousandths place.

The value of 9 in the hundredth place has a value of 0.09 while the value of 9 in the thousandths place has a value of 0.009

This means we can write 5.899 as 5 + 0.8 + 0.09 + 0.009

Now back to the question, how does 0.09 compare to 0.009? we can see that 0.09 is 10 times 0.009

This mathematically means that;

0.09 = 10 * 0.009

Hence we can conclude that the 9 in the hundredths place is 10 times the 9 in the thousandths place
