So leangh of ladder=2x+1
bottom edgre=x-1
wall edge=2x
so therefor, since this is a right triangle, use pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonues=longest side
b and a=sides touching the right angle
so x-1 and 2x are a and b
2x+1=c
subsitute
(x-1)^2+(2x)^2=(2x+1)^2
x^2-2x+1+4x^2=4x^2+4x+1
add like terms
5x^2-2x+1=4x^2+4x+1
subtract 1 from both sdies
5x^2-2x=4x^2+4x
subtract 4x from both sdies
5x^2-6x=4x^2
subtract 4x^2 from both sides
x^2-6x =0
factor out the x using distributive property which is
ab+ac=a(b+c)
x^2-6x=x(x-6)
(x)(x-6)=0
if xy=0 then assume x and/or y=0
x=0
we remember that one of the side legnths is 2x and if x=0 then the side legnth=0 which is not possible, so we discard
x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
x=6
subsitute and solve
legnth of ladder=2x+1
x=6 subsitute
2(6)+1=12+1=13
legnth of ladder =13 feet
height=2x
2(6)=12
height=12 feet
base=x-1
6-1=5
legnth of ladder=13 feet
height=12 feet
base=5 feet
Answer: $29.43
Step-by-step explanation: 3 shirts for $9 each adds up to $27. 9%= 0.09 so you can multiply the cost of the shirts by 1.09 because that is the base price plus the sales tax. Then you get $29.43.
Answer:
20x^2−2x−6
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+2)(5x+−3)
=(4x)(5x)+(4x)(−3)+(2)(5x)+(2)(−3)
=20x2−12x+10x−6
=20x2−2x−6
The answer is o+ Hope this helped.
