ans= 4

assume that the length of ladder is x

assume length of wall to top of ladder is x-2

the bottom is 10

use pythagoras to find x (hypotenuse)

should get 4 by factorising and squaring towards the end

How do I solve and graph this?
lianna [129]
3x -y ⩾ 6

3x - 6 ⩾ y

now, with inequalities, what we do is, we graph the line of 3x - 6 = y, and then we shade the "true region".

if we pick a point on say hmmm (4, 0), namely x = 4 and y = 0, we can plug that in the inequality and see what we get,

3(4) - 0 ⩾ 6

12 - 0 ⩾ 6

12 ⩾ 6   

is 12 really greater or equals to 6?  well yes, therefore, the point (4, 0) lies on the "true region", since it's true, 12 is indeed ⩾ 6, so, where that point is, we shade.

now, the ⩾ means equals to or greater, and therefore, since the values could also equal the boundary points, the line is a solid line, because it includes the line itself, as well as the shading.

check the picture below.

You have $2 and earn $0.50 for each cup of lemonade you sell. Write an equation in two variables that represents the total amoun
Pani-rosa [81]
So because you will have $2 no matter how many cups you sell the equation starts off as AA = 2 

Next, you add the dependent variable, because 1 cup of cc = $0.50 you add 0.5cc to the equation (it can also be written as 1/2cc), to complete the equation.
AA = 1/2cc +2
