You would first write a proportion like this:
15 over 20 = x over 16
Cross multiply 15 times 16 and 20 times x.
15 times 16 = 240. 20 times x = 20x.
Divide both sides by 20. 
240/20 = 12
x = 12
The slide tree is 12 feet tall.

1. A soccer field has an area (A = LW) that is represented by the polynomial 1 point
matrenka [14]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for soccer field

Required

The possible dimension of the field

From the attachment, we have:

Area = x^2 - 36

Length = x +a

Width = x + b

So, we have:

Length * Width = Area

This gives:

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 - 36

Express 36 as 6^2

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 - 6^2

Express as difference of two squares

(x + a)(x + b) = (x + 6)(x - 6)

Hence, the dimension is: (x + 6)(x - 6)

How many times do you need to divide by ten to get from <br> 940.0 to 9.400
Gnesinka [82]
Twice. Dividing by ten will move the decimal point one place to the left. Rather than dividing by ten twice, you can divide by 100 once.

Solve for y 16y^2-25=0
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

16y^2-25=0\\\\METHOD\ 1:\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\16=4^2\ \text{and}\ 25=5^2\ \text{therefore we have}\\\\4^2y^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y)^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y-5)(4y+5)+0\iff4y-5=0\ \vee\ 4y+5=0\\\\4y-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\4y=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{4}}\\\\4y+5=0\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\4y=-5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}}

METHOD\ 2:\\\\16y^2-25=0\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\16y^2=25\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\y^2=\dfrac{25}{16}\to y=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{26}}\\\\y=-\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}
