If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

Which value of x makes the open sentence true?
xeze [42]

Answer:

x=1/2 or 0.5

B. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add x to both sides

you then get the equation 7=4x+5

Step two: subtract 5 from both sides

you then get the equation 2=4x

Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.

2/4=4x/4x

you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.
