Well lucy must be a moron then because she that isn't possible
See examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
Answer:
The integer is 1 or 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the integer be x, then:
x^2 + 7 = 10x - 2
x^2 - 10x + 9 = 0
(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1, 9.
Verifying
9^2 + 7 = 88
10*9 - 2 = 88 So 9 is correct.
1^2 + 7 = 8
10*1 - 2 = 8 So 1 is also correct.
Answer:
4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry is that of a right triangle with hypotenuse 8.5 m and one side of length 7.5 m. If "b" represents the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
b² + 7.5² = 8.5²
b² + 56.25 = 72.25
b² = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 56.25
b = 4 . . . . meters . . . (take the square root)
The base of the ladder is 4 m from the wall.

You may recognize this as the 8-15-17 Pythagorean triple, scaled by 1/2.
You can compare and contrast whole number, integers, and rational numbers. For instance, some are negative some aren't!
