How can you determine the best method of solving a system of equations?
Elimination is best used when both equations are in standard form (Ax + By = C).
Elimination is also the best method to use if all of the variables have a coefficient other than 1.
Hope this helps
Answer: the answer should be 5
if you draw a right triangle 12 would be the line that goes up (A) and 13 would be the slanted line (C) so that leaves the bottom line to be C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents the phrase "twice the difference of a number and 5" is 2(x - 5).
<h3>What is the expression that represents the phrase?</h3>
The difference of a number and 5 is given by:
x - 5.
As we don't know the number, hence we call it x.
Twice that is:
2(x - 5).
Hence the expression that represents the phrase "twice the difference of a number and 5" is 2(x - 5).

Answer:
No. The ladder is too steep.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of ladder = 17 feet. This is the hypotenuse.
Side a of a right triangle = 16.6
To answer this, you need one of the trigonometric functions.
Opposite = 16.5
hypotenuse = 17
The function you need is the sine function.
Sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
sin(theta) = 16.5 / 17
Sin(theta) = 0.97059
theta = sin-1(0.07059)
theta = 76.07
No the ladder is too steep.
