Answer: a=1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
move the 0.1a to the other and the 7 to the other side which will make the 7 positive and the 0.1a negative.
5a-0.1= 4.9a
-0.14+7=6.86
dive both sides by 4.9 and you get
a=1.4
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
Answer:
the common ratio is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
because 4 times 6 is 24
24 times 6 is 144
144 times 6 is 864
Sales above monthly quota = 23800 - 17000 = $6800
So her commission = 0.05 * 6,800 = $340
Therefore her total salary for the month = 3600 + 340
= $3,940 (answer).
