Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?
Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
A simple matter of using Pythagoras. The hypotenuse is the ladder, and one of the legs is the wall, and we have to figure out the value of the other leg.
The Pythagorean formuda is (hypotenuse = a): a² + b² = c² (b and c are the other sides)
applying the values: a = 5 and b or c is 3 (I'll put b = 3)
5² = 3² + c²
25 = 9 + c²
25 - 9 = c²
16 = c²
√16 = c
4 = c
c = 4
247 divided by 10^2 is 2.47 and 247 times 10^2 is 24,700
Answer:
The height of the projection will be (x - 5) feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A projector displays an image on a wall. The area (in square feet) of the rectangular projection can be represented by (x² - 8x + 15).
Now to get the width and the height of the rectangular projection we have to factorize the expression (x² - 8x + 15).
Here, (x² - 8x + 15)
= x² - 3x - 5x + 15
= (x- 3)(x - 5)
Now, if the height of the projection is less than its width then, the height of the projection will be (x - 5) feet. (Answer)
