setup a simple algebraic equation and solve.
5x = 7x-28
-5x -5x
0=2x-28
+28 +28
28=2x
Now divide both sides by 2 and you get that she is 14
A/78 = 25/100 . . . . the equation
a = 78*25/100 = 19.5
19.5 is 25% of 78
Answer: 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2
6^2 + x^2 = 10^2
36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36
x^2 = 64. square root of both sides
x = 8
Answer: n = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3n +2(n + 2) = 9n + 12
(simplify 2(n + 2)) =
3n + 2n + 4 = 9n + 12
(subtract 9n from both sides)
3n + 2n - 9n + 4 = 12
-4n + 4 = 12
(subtract 4 from both sides)
-4n = 8
(divide -4 from both sides)
n = -2
