The length of the ladder is 25 feet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Height of the House, h = 24 feet

Distance between the house and the ladder, b = 7 feet

length of the ladder, x = ?

The house makes 90° with the base of the ladder.

Using pythagoras  theorm,

x² = h² + b²

x² = (24)² + (7)²

x = √625

x = 25

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 25 feet.

Answer: -10, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets add the two equations. add the x's, add the y's, add the constants on the right.

we get

0x - 1y = -10

so then divide --10 by -1 because we do the opposite operations to both sides

and we get y = 10

now substitute y = 10 into the first equation

-10x - 9(10) = 10

and then we get -10x - 90 = 10

now add 90 to both sides

-10x = 100

divide 100 by -10

x = -10

y = 10

checks out

EPIC. STAY EPIC AND AWESOME FRIEND.

I need some help with this rational equation. It's supposed to = -1, but for some strange reason I keep getting x^2 +2x = -1.
Rasek [7]

This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !

You're totally correct, as far you went.     x² + 2x does = -1

Now add ' 1 ' to each side:     x² + 2x + 1 = 0

Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?

Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.

                                       x² + 2x + 1  =  (x + 1)²

So the solutions of     x² + 2x + 1 = 0  are both   x = -1 .

Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
