If Jose has n books, Lynn has n+4 books

when Lynn gives Jose 6 books her total number of books changes by -6 so it becomes: n+4-6 = n-2

Jose gains 6 books so his total becomes: n+6

We can minus Jose's books from Lyn's books total to get the difference: (n+6)-(n-2) = n -n +6 --2 = 8

Therefore Jose has 8 more books than Lynn.

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to a9 - b9?
irina1246 [14]
When you have the power multiplied to another power you have to multiply 
so 
(a^3)^3 - (b^3)^3 = a^9 - b^9

A is correct. 

B is incorrect because when you multiply the exponents you get a^18 - b^18 

C is incorrect because when you distribute the 2 you get a^6 - b^6 

D is correct too

A fireman has 12 ft. ladder and a 16 ft ladder. He leans the 12 ft ladder against a house at an angle of 57 degrees. He leans th
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

12 feet ladder

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 12 ft ladder :

Using Pythagoras :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 57 = h / 12

1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets

For 16 feet ladder :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 30 = h / 16

0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets

18.48 > 9.24

Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height

Answer:

-10,000 / -2000, although 10,000/2000 gives the same answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations -10,000/2000 and 10,000/-2000 are negative, and negative days do not make sense, thus eliminating those answers.

Also, she wants to descend 10,000 feet, so that makes it -10,000 int he equation.
