Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

–3(y-2) +29 = -19

Distribute

-3y +6 +29 = -19

Combine like terms

-3y + 35 =-19

Subtract 35 from each side

-3y +35-35 = -19-35

-3y = -54

Divide each side by -3

-3y/-3 = -54/-3

y = 18

Last season, a softball team played 18 games. The team won 15 of these games. What is the ratio of the softball team's wins to i

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of games played by the softball team = 18 games

Total games won = 15 games

Ratio of the softball team's wins to its total number of games played can be gotten by simply dividing the total games won by the total games played

Ratio = $\frac{total \ teams's win}{total\ number\ of \ games\ played}$

$Ratio = \frac{15}{18}$

Expressing the ratio in its lowest term

$Ratio = \frac{3*5}{3*6} \\\\Ratio = \frac{5}{6}$

Hence, the ratio of the softball team's wins to its total number of games played is 5:6

A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 3 feet less than the len

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is another classic case of Pythagoras theorem. To start with, let's assume that the length of the ladder we're looking for is x

We're told that the height of the building the ladder is leaning on is, x - 3

Also we're told that the distance at an adjacent from the ladder is 9 ft.

If we use Pythagoras theorem, we have

x² = (x - 3)² + 9²

x² = x² - 6x + 9 + 81

On rearranging, we have

x² - x² = -6x + 90

6x = 90

x = 90 / 6

x = 15 ft

Therefore, the length of the ladder is found to be 15 ft
