You can use the pythagoras theorem.

20^2=5^2+x^2

x^2=400-25
x^2=375

x = 19.36

20-19.36=0.64 feet

The answer is 0.64 feet :)

Solve for x: 3x − 2 &gt; 5x + 10. (5 points)<br> 1) x &gt; 6<br><br> 2) x −6
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2>5x+10

Add 2 to both sides

3x-2+2>5x+10+2

Simplify

3x>5x+12

Subtract 5x from both sides

3x-5x>5x+12-5x

Simplify

-2x>12

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-2x)(-1)

Simplify

2x

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}

Divide the numbers: \frac{2}{2} =1

=x

Divide the numbers: \frac{-12}{2}

Apply fraction rule: \frac{-a}{b} =-\frac{a}{b}

=\frac{12}{2}

Divide the numbers: \frac{12}{2} =6

=-6

x

Reduce to simplest form. - 3/5 + 1/3
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: -4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,

we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (LCD).

Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,

our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.

In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,

we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3

and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.

That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.

As your last step, make sure that the fraction

that you end up with doesn't reduce.

In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.
