Kimora's cell phone bill for one month is $52.
We need to determine the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.
Also, we need to write and equation and solve it.
<u>The equation:</u>
Let x denote the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.
Thus, the equation is given by
Therefore, the equation for the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month is
<u>Solving the equation:</u>
We need to solve the equation
Subtracting both sides of the equation by 35, we get;
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.05, we get;

Answer:
16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the ladder=20 feet
Distance from the base of the ladder to the house = 12 feet
You will notice that a wall is vertical and the ladder makes an angle with the horizontal ground(making it the hypotenuse). This is a right triangle problem.
To find the how far up the house can the ladder can reach, we simply find the third side of the right triangle.
From Pythagoras theorem
The third side of the right triangle is 16. Therefore the ladder leans 16 feet from the ground.
