5/4=15/12
2/3=8/12
15/12+8/12=23/12
I think 0? Correct me if I’m wrong
You start with f(x)=8-3(3)². Then, going in order of PEMDAS, you start with your exponent. So you have f(x)=8-3(9). Then multiplication, f(x)=8-27. Then your subtraction. f(x)=-19
Answer:
WORDS: The value of x is 15.
EQUATION: x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
1. AB is a straight line therefore angles AOF, FOG, and GOB total 180º
2. If ∠FOG = 90º, AOF + GOB = 90º by subtraction & substitution property
3. 5x - 15 + 2x = 90 (now solve) --> by substitution
4. 7x - 15 = 90 --> by C.L.T. or <u>C</u>ombine <u>L</u>ike <u>T</u>erms
5. 7x = 105 --> by C.L.T. or <u>C</u>ombine <u>L</u>ike <u>T</u>erms
6. x = 15 --> by inverse operations (division)
Hope this helps!
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
