5x = x^2 + 4
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0
x = 4, 1
(x + 6)^2 = 100
x + 6 = +/1 sqrt100
x + 6 = +/- 10
x = 4, -16
RB: $51.10/14=$3.65 per lb
Turkey: $42.60/12=$3.55 per lb
Ham: $3.80 per lb
Answer: Turkey is the LEAST expensive
Its y=3/4x+3
you can solve it
-3x+4y=12
add 3x both sides
4y=3x+12
divide 4 by both sides
y=3/4x+4
The numbers are 9 and 27.
Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to
square both sides
------> equation
Step 3
equate equation and equation
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is
