Answer: 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a diving board is 10 feet above a pool. Since the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, to calculate how tall is the ladder is, we subtract -5 from 10. This will be:

= 10 - (-5)

= 10 + 5

= 15 feet

The answer is option C.

What is the value of c in the equation 2(x-3)+9=3(x+1)+x
lianna [129]

Answer:

x = 0  (I must assume you had a typo since c is not a variable in this equation!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 (x - 3) + 9 = 3 (x + 1) + x

2 (x - 3) = 2 x - 6:

2 x - 6 + 9 = 3 (x + 1) + x

Grouping like terms, 2 x - 6 + 9 = 2 x + (-6 + 9):

2 x + (-6 + 9) = 3 (x + 1) + x

9 - 6 = 3:

2 x + 3 = 3 (x + 1) + x

3 (x + 1) = 3 x + 3:

2 x + 3 = 3 x + 3 + x

Grouping like terms, 3 x + x + 3 = (3 x + x) + 3:

2 x + 3 = (3 x + x) + 3

3 x + x = 4 x:

2 x + 3 = 4 x + 3

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(2 x - 4 x) + 3 = (4 x - 4 x) + 3

2 x - 4 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 3 = (4 x - 4 x) + 3

4 x - 4 x = 0:

3 - 2 x = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

(3 - 3) - 2 x = 3 - 3

3 - 3 = 0:

-2 x = 3 - 3

3 - 3 = 0:

-2 x = 0

Divide both sides of -2 x = 0 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 0/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 0/(-2)

0/(-2) = 0:

Answer:  x = 0

What is the slope of the line through (-1,8) and (3,-4)?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The slope of any line on the x-y plane is expressed as the rise divided by the run - the "rise" here is the change in the y coordinate, and the "run" is the change in the x coordinate. Given -4 and 8 as your y coordinates in this problem, and 3 and -1 as your x coordinates, how can you find the change - or difference - in each? Once you have those, you'll just need to put the

\frac{change\ in\ y}{change\ in\ x}
