Answer:

The answer to your question is 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 20 ft

leg = 15 ft

length of the line = ?

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.

Height = short leg = b

leg = long leg = a

length of the line = hypotenuse = c

- Substitution

         c² = (20)² + (15)²

-Simplification

         c² = 400 + 225

         c² = 625

-Result

         c = \sqrt{625}

         c = 25 ft

SVEN [57.7K]

The inequality that can be used to represents all possible combinations of x, the number of hamburgers and y, the number of briskets that will be cooked is 5y + 0.25x ≤ 150

Given:

pounds of brisket = 5 lb

Pounds of hamburger = 0.25 lb

Total pounds of briskets and hamburgers = no more than 150 lb

number of hamburgers = x

number of briskets = y

No more than in inequality = (≤)

The inequality:

5y + 0.25x ≤ 150

Therefore, inequality that can be used to represents all possible combinations of x, the number of hamburgers and y, the number of briskets that will be cooked is 5y + 0.25x ≤ 150

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x.

Let the price of 1 child ticket = y.

2x + 4y = 38

3x + 3y = 40.5

Multiply the first equation by 3. Multiply the second equation by -2. Then add them.

         6x + 12y = 114

(+)      -6x - 6y = -81

-----------------------------

                  6y = 33

y = 33/6

y = 5.5

2x + 4y = 38

2x + 4(5.5) = 38

2x + 22 = 38

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

(3b + 12 ) divided by 2 =30 Whats is b ?
denpristay [2]

b=16 , First you multiply 30 by 2 to see what sum you need for the numerator. Then you subtract the 60 that you get by the 12 and get 48. So 3 multiplied by b should give you 48. So you just divide 48 by 3 and get 16.
