Assuming Nicole = x, Nancy = y

x + y = 18 \\ y = x + 3

Substitute that into
x + x + 3 = 18 \\ 2x = 15 \\ x = 7.5

Answer : Nicole read 7.5 books.

Hope this helps. - M

Let the number of books that Nicole read be x.
⇒ Nicole = x

Nancy read 3 more than Nicole
⇒ Nancy = x + 3             

They read a total of 18 books.
⇒ x + ( x+ 3) = 18

<u>Solve for x:</u>
x + ( x + 3) = 18

Remove bracket:
x + x + 3 = 18

Combine like terms:
2x + 3 = 18

Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x = 15

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7.5

<u>Find the number of books each read:</u>
Nicole = x = 7.5 books
Nancy = x + 3 = 7.5 + 3 = 10.5 books

Answer: Nicole read 7.5 books.

A ladder is leaning against
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + 20 ^2 = x^2

225+400= x^2

625 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(625) = sqrt(x^2)

25 = x
