zysi [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x

NOTE: You can only add/subtract LIKE terms . Here we have  variable terms in x  (13x , 17x and x) and 2 constants ( 5 and 4.5).

Sarah's next line is

18x + 17x - 4.5 + x

This is incorrect . It looks like she  added 13x + 5 and got 18x!! Which is of course wrong because they are NOT LIKE terms. 5 is a constant and 13x is a variable term in x.

The third line is correct:-

35x - 4.5 + x.

She has added the 2 variables 17x and 18x.

Fourth line  is  30.5x + x. She's at it again - Trying to subtract 4.5 from 35x .

Last line 31.5x

She has added  the 2 terms in x correctly, but the final answer is wrong of course due to the earlier errors.

Two ladders are leaning against a building, forming two similar triangles as shown below. The top of the longer ladder is 28 fee
postnew [5]

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem

We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;

We make reference to the diagram

Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;

Thus;

20/15 = 28/x + 15

20(x + 15) = 15(28)

20x + 300 = 420

20x = 420-300

20x = 120

x = 120/20

x = 6

So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft

To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the hypotenuse be marked x

x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2

x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft

I'd say the 3rd one. I haven't done this stuff in 2 years ... me forgot. But if it's not right, then the 1st one!

I want you to know you're smart and you can do this! Good luck!
