15+(10-x)=15 would be your equation if that is what you are looking for.
Option C
The football team had a overall loss of 2 yards
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
When the team gains yards we use a positive value, and when the team loses yards we use a negative value.
<em><u>Given that, football team gains 2 yards on the first play</u></em>
First play = +2
<em><u>Given that football team loses 5 yards on the second play</u></em>
Second play = -5
<em><u>Given that football team loses 3 yards on the third play</u></em>
Third play = -3
<em><u>Given that football team gains 4 yards on the fourth play</u></em>
Fourth play = +4
Put the yards from four plays together, we get
⇒ 2 -5 -3 + 4
Let us simplify
⇒ -3 -3 + 4 = -6 + 4 = -2
So, -2 represents loss of two yards (since negative value indicates loss)
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
Answer:
third side is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
using Pythagoras theorem,
(√33)² + l² = 7²
33 + l² = 49
l² = 49 - 33
l² = 16
l = √16
l = 4
