Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.
Exact form:
15/7
Decimal form:
2.142857 repeating
Mixed number form:
2 1/7
+8y and -8y cross out.
So the first one is 3x=15
Second one is 2x=10
x=5
Then plug x is one of the equations
2(5)-8y=10
10-8y=10
x=5
y=0
This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is
.
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
