The cable should be 50 feet.
If you draw the picture, you will see that you have a right triangle.
Let's just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (or cable).
30^2 + 40^2 = c^2
2500 = c^2
50 = c
Answer: x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 18 = 7x + 30
9x - 7x = 30 + 18
2x = 48
x = 48/2 = 24
Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Finding x-intercept</u>
- Take y = 0
- 2x - 5(0) = 10
- 2x = 10
- x = 5
- x-intercept is at (5, 0)
<u>Finding y-intercept</u>
- Take x = 0
- 2(0) - 5y = 10
- -5y = 10
- y = -2
- y-intercept is at (0, -2)
