Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the number Peggy is thinking of be "x".

Now as given, when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number. We can write it as

∴ 2x+3(x+1)--- Equation 1

Again, it is given that Peggy gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number.

∴ 4(x-1)-- equation 2

Next, we can equate both the equation 1 and 2 as it is given that result is same.

2x+3(x+1)= 4(x-1)

Let´s distribute 3 into (x+1) and 4 into (x-1)

⇒ 2x+3x+3=4x-4

⇒ 5x+3=4x-4

Subtract both side by 4x and 3

∴ x=-7

∴ Peggy was thinking of -7

Charles and Seth are building a ramp for Sasha and Samantha. The base of the triangle is 11ft and it's height is 5ft. How long i
Arlecino [84]

Answer: 12.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A ramp represents a right-angled triangle so Pythagorean formula can be used to find the diagonal length which will also be the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

Where:

c = hypotenuse

a = base

b = Height

c² = 11² + 5²

c² = 121 + 25

c² = 146

c = √146

c = 12.1 ft
