1/3(x) = 5/6(x) - 15
2/6(x) = 5/6(x) - 15
15 = 1/2(x)
x=30

Algebra II

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, 6) → x₁ = -5, y₁ = 6

Point (3, 2) → x₂ = 3, y₂ = 2

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

Substitute in points [Distance Formulas]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(3+5)^2+(2-6)^2}$
[Distance] [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Add/Subtract: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(8)^2+(-4)^2}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{64+16}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{80}$
[Distance] [√Radical] Simplify: $\displaystyle d = 4\sqrt{5}$

A painter has 24 foot ladder that he is using to paint a house. For safety reasons, the ladder must be placed at least 8 feet fr

Lina20 [59]

To the nearest foot, it would be 23 feet. I found this using the Pythagorean Theorem of a (squared) + b (squared) = c (squared). If you have 24 as the hypotenuse, you have to square this and subtract 64 (8*8) from it. That will equal 512. So you have to find the square root of that which is 22.62, which will round to 23 feet.
