A 13-ft ladder is leaning against a house. The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 7-ft less than the distanc

Olin [163]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As a ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e

P²+B²= H²

Where,

'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground

'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house

'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13

considering 'x' as perpendicular

So, base would be 'x-7'

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

x² + (x-7)²= 13²

x² +x² -14x +49 =169

2x² -14x -120= 0

x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation

x² + 5x -12x-60=0

x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0

Either : x+5=0 => x=-5

OR: x-12=0 => x=12

We'll choose the positive length.

therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet

Which systems of equations intersect at point A in this graph?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

The correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point

A (-2, 1)

Let us check the system of equations to determine whether it intersect at point A in this graph.

Given the system of equations

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Arrange equation variable for elimination

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ y+3x=-5\end{bmatrix}$

$y+3x=-5$

$-$

$\underline{y-4x=9}$

$7x=-14$

so the system of equations becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ 7x=-14\end{bmatrix}$

Solve 7x = -14 for x

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{-14}{7}$

Simplify

$x = -2$

For y - 4x = 9 plug in x = 2

$y-4\left(-2\right)=9$

$y+4\cdot \:2=9$

$y+8=9$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$y+8-8=9-8$

Simplify

y = 1

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

From the attached graph, it is also clear that the system of equations intersects at point x = -2, and y = 1.

In other words, the point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

Therefore, the correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

Castel and Kali are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping paper and rolls of

True [87]

Answer:

Plain is $7 and Holiday is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Castel: 2p + 5h = 89

Kali: 9p + 10h = 213

Double Castel's: 4p + 10h = 178

Subtract fro Kali's 9p + 10h = 213

- 4p + 10h = 178

5p = 35

p = 7 Plain is $7

Substitute 7 into one of the equations and solve for h:

2(7) + 5h = 89

14 + 5h = 89

5h = 75

h = 15 Holiday is $15
