<u>Equation/Question:</u>
Solve for b. 3(b + -2)-8=-5 what is the answer?
<u>Answer/Steps to answer:</u>
1.Simplify b+-2 to b−2.
3(b−2)−8=−5
2. Add 8 to both sides.
3(b-2)=-5+8
3. Simplify -5+8 to 3.
3(b-2)=3
4. Divide both sides by 3.
b-2=1
5. Add 2 to both sides.
b=1+2
6. Simplify 1+2 to 3.
b=3

5<em>x</em>² - 7<em>x</em> + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em>) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em> + 49/100 - 49/100) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 2 • 7/10 <em>x</em> + (7/10)²) - 49/20 + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² - 9/20 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/20
(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/100
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± √(9/100)
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 7/10 ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 10/10 = 1 or <em>x</em> = 4/10 = 2/5
Answer:
The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°
Step-by-step explanation:
The question given is lacking an information. Here is the correct question.
"By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than 4.76 degrees. If the base of the ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance"
The whole set up will give us a right angled triangle with the base of the building serving as the adjacent side of the triangle and the height h serving as the opposite side since it is facing the angle 4.76°
The side of the wheelchair service ramp is the hypotenuse.
Given theta = 4.76°
And the base of the building = adjacent = 15feet
We can get the height of the building using the trigonometry identity SOH CAH TOA.
Using TOA
Tan(theta) = opposite/Adjacent
Tan 4.76° = h/15
h = 15tan4.76°
The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°
