If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)
a²+b²=c²
12²+b²=15²
144+b²=225
b²=81
√b²=√81
b=9
Answer:
five plus five plus five
Step-by-step explanation:
This is in wording
3/4(5)+3y=12
15/4+3y=12
3y=12-15/4
3y=33/4
y=33/4 /3
y=11/4
Given:X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains
144 marbles.
SOLVING:X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X =

X = 36
===> The blue marbles.If there are
3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108
===> The red marbles. SOLUTION
TESTING:

GOOD LUCK...!!!
