A composite has more than 2 ways to divide itself
Answer:
<h3>x = -2</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
![3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B-x%20%2B%20%282%20x%20%2B%201%29%5D%20%3D%20x%20-1%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cmathrm%7BExpand%5C%3A%7D3%5Cleft%28-x%2B%5Cleft%282x%2B1%5Cright%29%5Cright%29%3A%5Cquad%203x%2B3%5C%5C3x%2B3%3Dx-1%5C%5C)

The slide needs to be 4.123 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Length for the ladder- 1 mtr
Distance of the bottom of the slide from the ladder- 4 mtr
Length of the slide needed
We can view the whole set up in the form of a right-angled triangle with the base representing the slide distance from the ladder, ladder length representing altitude and slide length representing as hypotenuse (As provided in the diagram)
For right-angled triangle we know from Pythagoras theorem-
Base² + altitude²= hypotenuse
²
Substituting the values of base as 4 mtr and altitude as 1 m
(Hypotenuse)²= 17
∴ Hypotenuse (slide length) =4.123 mtr
∴ Length of the slide needed= 4.123 meters
