Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

leg of triangle=  height of ladder = 15 feet

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle  = length of ladder = L

base = 6 feet

What is length of ladder?

L^2 = 15^2 + 6^2 = 225 + 36 = 261

L = root(261)  = 16.155 feet

Solve the equation -9x+1=-x+17​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+1=-x+17

Add 9x on both sides:

     1=8x+17

Subtract 17 on both sides:

   -16=8x

Divide both sides by 8:

     -2=x

Check x=-2!

-9x+1=-x+17     with x=-2

-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17

18+1=2+17

19=19

19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

16/29

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(basketball or baseball) = P(basketball) + P(baseball) - P(both)

= (13/29) + (7/29) - (4/29)

= 16/29

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays either sport is 16/29.

This is the symmetric property, for you divide 9 to both sides to get x, instead of adding (addition property of equality)

So symmetric property should be your answer
