Answer:
n = 1 if you meant "(4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n"
Step-by-step explanation:
There's some ambiguity here. Did you mean (4/5)n or did you
4
mean --------- ? Please use parentheses to eliminate this ambiguity.
5n
I'm going to assume that you meant to type in (4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n.
Then we have (3/5)n = 3/5, or n = 1
Answer: x equals 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
