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
Equate real part and imaginary part:
LHS:
real part -- 12
imaginary part -- 5y
RHS:
real part = 4x
imaginary part = 25
Equating::
12 = 4x
x = 12/4
x = 3
Again:
5y = 25
y = 25/5
y = 5
So,
x = 3
y = 5
Answer:
None.

Hi!!
A triangle has <u>NO</u> parrallel lines. It cannot. Think of a triangle. IF it had a parralell line(s), it would not have 3 sides.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a polygon which is part of the criteria for a triangle.
Hope this helps!
:D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to plot the y-intercept first so since we know that the y-intercept is 500 from the y=mx+b format, you have to plug in (0,500). Then, we use the slope or the m provided in the equation with is -20. This means you have to go down 20, and right 1 since it is -20/1 or 20 down and 1 run. then you just connect the dots to finish your line.
