let x =the number
Step-by-step explanation:
81+x=3x-39
group like terms
81+39=3x-x
120=2x
120/2=2x/2
60=x
therefore x =60
120$. 100%
X$. 8.33%
X= 120• 8.33/100
X=9.99 $
Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:
hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L
horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6
vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3
So, we can use Pythagoras formula:
A2 +B2= C2
(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²
L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²
L2 -18L+45 =0
APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:
L =15 OR L=3
If L=3
Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)
So L=15
Answer: B. perpendicular lines because they intersect at a right angle, making them perpendicular.
