Let the ladder length be L, then

Answer:

$a = - 7$

$a = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+4) {}^{2} - 3 {}^{2} \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 16 - 9 \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 7 \\ a {}^{2} + a + 7a + 7 \\ a(a + 1) + 7(a + 1) \\ (a + 7)(a + 1) \\ a + 7 = 0 \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: a + 1 = 0 \\ a = - 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: a = - 1$

Helppppp rn please.

scoundrel [369]

1) neither. that’s not one of your answer choices so just pick one (maybe odd ‍♀️)
2) 2 is the answer. Plug in 1 for x, raise everything to its power (which will end up being 1), then use PEMDAS to solve

Linear System, substitutional method<br><br> 5x+4y=32 <br> 9x-y=33<br><br> helppp

Pachacha [2.7K]

5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ <u>45x - 5y = 165</u>
      <u>41y</u> = <u>123</u>
   41 41
      y = 3
      5x + 4(3) = 32
      5x + 12 = 32
   <u> - 12 - 12</u>
      <u>5x</u> = <u>20</u>
       5     5
      x = 4
      (x, y) = (4, 3)
