X = games won
y = games lost
x + y = 72
x = 2y + 15
2y + 15 + y = 72
3y + 15 = 72
3y = 72 - 15
3y = 57
y = 57/3
y = 19 <=== lost games
x = 2y + 15
x = 2(19) + 15
x = 53 <=== won games
Answer:
16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the ladder=20 feet
Distance from the base of the ladder to the house = 12 feet
You will notice that a wall is vertical and the ladder makes an angle with the horizontal ground(making it the hypotenuse). This is a right triangle problem.
To find the how far up the house can the ladder can reach, we simply find the third side of the right triangle.
From Pythagoras theorem

The third side of the right triangle is 16. Therefore the ladder leans 16 feet from the ground.
Answer:
3384
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to end up with
. Expand this using the angle sum identity for sine:

We want this to line up with
. Right away, we know
.
We also need to have

Recall that
for all
; this means

Then

So we end up with

Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
slope=5/6
ying=-3
equation is y=5/6x-3
