Bob and Sue are meeting on a stairway. Bob is at the top and Sue is at the bottom. There are 9 steps

Answer:

Bob is at the top, so he starts at step 9.

Sue is at the bottom, so she is at the step 0 (this is the floor, before stepping on step 1)

Sue climbs from one step on one step.

Then she if she climbs n times, she will be at the step number:

S(n) = 0 + 1*n

And Bob goes down by 2 steps each time, then after he goes down n times, his position will be:

B(n) = 9 - 2*n

We want to see when they meet, then we need to solve:

S(n) = B(n)

1*n = 9 - 2*n

1*n + 2*n = 9

3*n = 9

n = 9/3 = 3

n = 3.

This means that they meet a the step:

S(3) = 3*1 = 3

B(3) = 9 - 2*3 = 9 - 6 = 3

They meet at the third steep.

Please help, I’m struggling
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is   A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base =  49.5 mi

Sara is trying to find an equation for a line that passes through (5, 2) and is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = 15. Explain the steps
Anettt [7]
Not on your list, but an easy way is
.. a) swap coefficients of x and y, negating one. (Now you have 2x -3y.)
.. b) set any constant term to zero (now you have 2x -3y = 0)
.. c) translate the line to the point (5, 2) by substituting x ⇒ x-5, y⇒ y-2
2(x -5) -3(y -2) = 0


The way you've been taught, selection C is the proper choice.
