Answer:
okay
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
Answer:
a non-linear relationship
Step-by-step explanation:
it does have a relationship but it's exponential
First we see that we can factor out a 5 from everybody
5(-a^2+2ab^2-4+5ba^3)
trial and eror and experience
order in poawer order
5(5a^3b-a^2+2ab^2-4)
5(a^2(5ab-1)+2(ab^2-2))
dunno how to go on further
Answer:
Let p be the number of phones sold and a be the number of accessory sold.
9p + 4a = 253
a - p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
He gets $9 for every phone and $4 for every accessory, so you can write this as
9p + 4a
Then he made a total of $253 do the new equation is
9p + 4a = 253
We are also given that he sold 8 more accessories than phones. So we can write this as
a = p + 8
rearrange that so that all the variables are to one side.
a - p = 8
Now you have the two equations needed to solve the for the variable. The question didn't ask me to solve for the variable so I'll leave it here.
