If A, B and C are collinear, then
1) if B is between A and C:
AC = AB + BC
AC = 48 + 22 = 70
2) if C is between A and B:
AB = AC + BC
48 = AC + 22 |-22
AC = 26
3) if A is between B and C:
BC = AB + AC
22 = 48 + AC |-48
AC = - 26 < 0 FALSE
Answer:
if B is between A and C, then AC = 70
if C is between A and B, then AC = 26
The x-intercept is present where y = 0
2x + 5y - 10 = 0
2x - 10 = -5y
2x - 10 = -5(0)
2x = 10
x = 5
The y-intercept is present where x = 0
2x + 5y = 10
2x + 5y - 10 = 0
5y - 10 = -2(0)
5y = 10
y = 2
Answer:
27.14 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
