Answer:
First we must figure out what the question means. It is asking how the absolute value of 3+10 is equivalent to the absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of ten.
Next we should solve the expressions: The absolute value of 3 plus 10 is 13. The absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of 10 is 13. 13 and 13 are the same number.
Therefore, the expressions are equivalent. Thus, having your answer.
Add 1 to both sides of the equation to get 4x = 4.
Divide both sides by 4 and <em>x = 1</em>.
if asking for hours to miles (as it looks like in this case, x to y) it would be 1/53
Answer: 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2
6^2 + x^2 = 10^2
36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36
x^2 = 64. square root of both sides
x = 8
