Use the distributive property.
4a - 8 = 3a + 12
Arrange the like terms.
4a - 3a = 12 + 8
a = 20
That is the answer. <span>☺️</span>✌️
60i
if you go to mode on your calculator then Chang it from "real" to "a+bi" you can solve for unreal numbers. if you press "2nd" then "." it makes an "i"
We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.
11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares
121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides
B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75
B = 5 root3
Answer:
x = 10.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply each side by 5 to remove it as a fraction
2. it cancels out on the left leaving 10x - 4 = 100
3. Add 4 to each side canceling it out on the left and leaving 10x = 104
4. Divide each side by 10 to get x by itself
5. 10x/100 = 104/10
6. x = 10.4
