Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the "number."
"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:
2(x-16)
"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:
= 3(x<18)
I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:
=3(x-18)
1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)
2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)
Going with this interpretation:
2(x-16) = 3(x-18)
2x - 32 = 3x - 54
x = 22
Yes he can, because when the area of the top of the box is divided by 3/4, you get a whole number, meaning there would be no tile pieces left over, which means that he could cover the top. SEE PICTURE FOR WORK.
Answer:
The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given,
Length of ladder leaning against a building, l = 45 foot
Bottom length between ladder and the building , b = 27
Now, we need to find the height of building to the nearest foot.
Let the height of building be h.
Using Pythagoras theorem,

Here, l = 45 , b = 27 and h =?
So,

h² = 45² - 27²
h = √(45² - 27²)
h = 36
The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot
