<span>Let x=0.8888...
x=0.8888 Start with the given equation
10x=8.8888 Multiply both sides by 10. The goal is to move the decimal point to the next repeating portion (which is just one spot to the right)
Now subtract the equation x=0.8888 from 10x=8.8888 to get
10x-x=8.8888-0.8888
9x=8 Combine like terms. Notice how the decimal portions cancel out.
x=8/9 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x
So the answer is x=8/9 which means that 8/9=0.8888 (where the 8's repeat)</span>
Answer:
≈ 35.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°
Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.
cos70° =
=
( multiply both sides by l )
l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )
l =
≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x=y+6 --------- equ 1
2x-3y=4 -------- equ 2
5x - 6 = y
y = 5x - 6
substitute in equ 2
2x-3(5x - 6) =4
2x - 3*5x + 3*6 = 4
2x - 15x + 18 = 4
- 13x = 4 - 18
-13x = -14
x = -14/-13
x = 14/13
substitute in equ 1
5*14/13 = y+6
70/13 - 6 = y
y = ( 70 - 78)/13
y = -8/13
