Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of the square = s² ( s is the measure of the side )
Here s = x + 2 and A = 7 , thus
(x + 2)² = 7 ← expand left side using FOIL
x² + 4x + 4 = 7 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x² + 4x = 3 ← as required
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
Answer:
The ferry needs to make 5 trips.
Step-by-step explanation:
All we need to do is divide the numbe of trips by how many cars at a time.
37 ÷ 8 = 4.62500
4.62500 ≈ 5
C is the answer. Adding all the "x" values would give 0, therefore, no solution
