Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+5|=7

2x+5=±7 ⇔ since the absolutely value of any number is all positive, so the value in side can be either positive or negative

2x+5=7 or 2x+5=-7

2x=2 2x=-12

x=1 or x=-6

----------------------------------------

The product of the two solutions

1 × -6=-6

Hope this helps!! :)

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the

GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

$H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5$

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall
