This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
adding -7 to 7, since they are both constants (no variable) gives you 0. Adding -5x and 5x since they both have an x term gives you 0x also written as 0 (0*any number is 0). this gives you a final answer of 0
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)= the first time (32,000)
n= 9
r= .5 (each term is being mulitplied by .5 to get the next one
We have
32,000*(.5)^(9-1)
32,000*(.5)^8
=125
8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
