Answer:

The length of the ladder would be 32 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the missing value, we create a proportion. We can do this by making two fractions -- the numerator being the depicted length and the denominator being the actual length.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

Since we don't know the actual length of the ladder, we put it in as x. Now we can cross multiply to solve.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

1.5*x = 4*12

1.5x = 48

x = 32

Work Out The Value of X
melomori [17]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

3x° + (x - 11)° + (2x - 55)° = 360°

3x + x - 11 + 2x - 55 = 360°

6x - 66 = 360°

6x = 360° + 66°

6x = 426°

x = 71°

Through (0,2) and (4,1) write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

y= -1/4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

use the slope formula to get the slope: y2-y1/x2-x1 or 1-2/4-0 subtract to get -1/4 that is the m(slope)*x in y=mx+b now for b it is the point in which x=0 so the first point has x=0 and it's y is 2 so b is 2. put it together to get y=-1/4x+2

On a quiz, students were awarded a certain number of points for a correct answer and penalized a certain number of points for an
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Given that the score of the student on the quiz was 25c - 10(15 - c)

It can be seen that the first term of expression for her score (i.e. 25c) shows that 25 marks were awarded to each correct answer.

The second term of the expression (i.e. 10(15 - c)) represent that 10 marks were deducted from each wrong answer.

Thus, the number of wrong answers is 15 - c.

The sum of the correct answers and the wrong answers gives the total number of questions in the quiz.

Thus, the total number of questions in the quiz is given by 15 - c + c = 15.

Therefore, there are 15 questions in the quiz.
