Answer:

x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We have the expression as

(x+1)/(x+1)= 1/2

let us first cross multiply

2(x+1)=(x+1)

2x+2=x+1

collect like terms

2x-x=1-2

x= -1

Hence the value of x=-1

Can someone give me the answer

Tasya [4]

Take the 4cm side and the 6cm side.

If you hook them together at one end, then there's no way they can reach the ends of the 11cm side. The farthest they can reach is 10cm.

That's what choice-B says.

A 14-foot ladder is leaning against a building as shown. It touches a point 11 feet up on a building. How far away from the base

Luden [163]

We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.

11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares

121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides

B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75

B = 5 root3

Sahil got 28 questions right on the math test. Angelina got 7 more wrong answers than Sahil. There where 40 questions on the tes

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

19 wrong answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sahil got 28 questions right.

Angelina got 7 more wrong answers than Sahil.

There where 40 questions on the test.

Question asked:

How many answers did Angelina get wrong on the math test ?

Solution:

Total questions on the test = 40

Number of right answers, Sahil got = 28

Number of wrong answers, Sahil got = 40 - 28 = 12

As Angelina got 7 more wrong answers than Sahil,

Number of wrong answers, Sahil got = 12

Then, number of wrong answers, Angelina got = 12 + 7 = 19

Therefore, 19 answers did Angelina get wrong on the math test out of 40.
